In  the  preparation  of  these  Treatises,  in  the  different  departments, 
much  talent,  experience,  and  ripe  scholarship  have  been  employed ;  and  it 
is  believed  that  no  list  of  books  more  extended  or  varied,  or  combining  a 
higher  order  of  excellence,  has  ever  been  offered  to  the  American  public. 

Single  copies,  for  examination,  of  any  of  the  works  marked  thus  *,  will 
be  transmitted  by  mail,  postage  prepaid,  to  any  Teacher  remitting  one- 
lialf  of  their  respective  prices.  Any  of  the  others  will  be  sent  by  mail, 
postage  prepaid,  upon  receipt  of  full  retail  price. 

Parties  sending  for  books,  will  please  be  particular  to  give  their  full

troduction of  any  of  the  works  of  this  Catalogue,  will  please  to  address

Cornell's  Geographies  surpass  all  others  in  the  following  respects : — 

1.  In  philosophic  arrangement,  the  spirit  of  their  motto  being  faithfully  earried  out — 
"  First,  the  blade  ;  then  the  ear ;  after  that,  the  full  corn  in  the  ear."

CORNELL'S  SERIES  OF  GEOGRAPHIES. 


2.  In  the  gradual  progression  of  their  steps,  whereby  the  difficulties  usually  en- 
countered  by  beginners  arc  removed. 

3.  In  presenting  one  thing  at  a  time,  and  impressing  it  on  the  mind  before  another 
is  introduced. 

4.  In  the  adaptation  of  each  part  to  the  age  and  grade  of  scholarship  for  which  it  is 
intended. 

5.  In  the  admirable  mode  they  prescribe  for  memorizing  the  contents  of  a  map. 

6.  In  their  full  explanations  and  explicit  directions  for  describing  the  natural  divis- 
ions of  the  earth,  saving  the  teacher  time  and  labor. 

7.  In  their  judicious  selection  of  facts,  the  usual  mass  of  irrelevant  details  pertaining 
to  astronomy,  history,  zoology,  etc.,  being  excluded. 

8.  In  the  appropriate  and  instructive  character  of  their  illustrations. 

9.  In  consistency  between  maps  and  text. 

10.  In  the  introduction  into  the  maps  of  such  places  only  as  are  mentioned  in  the 
book — thus  saving  the  pupil  from  the  discouraging  necessity  of  groping  for  a  given 
locality  among  a  labyrinth  of  crowded  names. 

11.  In  the  clear  presentation  of  every  fact,  and  the  analytical  precision  with  which 
each  branch  of  the  subject  is  kept  distinct. 

12.  In  being  at  once  practical,  systematic,  and  complete,  philosophical  in  arrange- 
ment, and  progressive  in  the  development  of  the  subject. 

The  Publishers  respectfully  solicit  teachers  in  all  parts  of  the  country  to  examine,  test,  and 
compare  with  rival  series,  Cornell's  popular  and  philosophical  Text-Books  on  Geography, 
which  have  met  with  the  almost  unanimous  approval  of  educators,  and  have,  indeed,  entirely 
revolutionized  the  mode  of  teaching  this  important  branch. 

The  Primary  Geography.* 

The  Primary  Geography  contains  only  those  branches  of  geographical  science  that  admit 
of  being  brought  fully  within  the  comprehension  of  the  youthful  beginner ;  commencing  at  the 
foundation  of  the  science,  its  object  is  to  make  the  pupil  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  rela- 
tive position  of  the  grand  divisions  of  the  earth,  the  leading  political  divisions,  and  the 
principal  capital  cities. 

The  work  is  illustrated  with  upward  of  seventy  beautiful  and  appropriate  designs,  among 
which  will  be  found  representations  of  an  island,  a  peninsula,  an  isthmus,  a  cape,  a  mountain- 
chain,  a  sea,  a  bay,  a  strait,  a  lake,  a  river,  etc.,  and  also  views  of  the  most  important  cities 
in  the  world. 

The  map  questions  are  numerous  and  thorough,  and  so  arranged  that  the  pupil  necessarily 
becomes  acquainted  with  every  locality  described.  At  desirable  intervals,  there  is  a  system- 
atic arrangement  of  promiscuous  questions  in  review-lessons. 

A  Pronouncing  Vocabulary,  containing  the  names  of  all  the  natural  and  political  divisions 
used  throughout  the  work,  is  appended. 

The  Intermediate  Geography."5 

The  Intermediate  Geography  is,  in  accordance  with  the  author's  plan,  designed  for  pupils 
who  have  completed  a  primary  course  on  the  subject. 

It  possesses  all  the  advantages  of  arrangement  and  system  peculiar  to  the  first  book  of  the 

8 


CORNELL'S  SERIES  OF  GEOGRAPHIES. 


Series.  It  clearly  explains  the  terms  used  in  Physical,  Political,  and  Mathematical  Geography, 
and  contains  a  judiciously  selected  and  carefully  systematized  amount  of  Descriptive  Geography. 
It  is  also  illustrated  with  a  large  number  of  well-executed  woodcuts,  engraved  expressly  for 
the  work,  comprising  views  of  places,  etc.,  never  before  presented  in  any  school-book,  de- 
signed not  only  to  interest  the  pupil,  but  to  impart  valuable  information. 

A  thorough  and  practical  System  of  Map-drawing  is  embodied. 

This  work  also  embraces  a  Pronouncing  Vocabulary  of  the  geographical  names. 

The  Grammar-School  Geography/ 

The  Grammar-School  Geography  may  either  follow  the  Intermediate  Geography  or  be  used 
instead  of  it,  as  the  second  part  of  the  series.  The  chief  difference  between  the  Intermedi- 
ate and  the  Grammar-School  is  that  the  latter,  though  no  more  elevated  in  style,  is  fuller  in 
detail,  presents  a  greater  variety  of  map-questions,  and  a  larger  number  of  localities  to  be 
memorized.  Both  are  alike  philosophical  in  their  arrangement,  accurate  in  their  statements, 
chastely  and  lavishly  illustrated,  highly  attractive  in  their  external  appearance,  and,  generally, 
just  what  the  intelligent  teacher  desires.  A  simple  and  practical  system  of  Map-drawing  is 
presented. 

The  High-School  Geography  and  Atlas.* 

The  High-School  Geography  is  an  unusually  attractive  12mo.  (large  size)  volume  of  405 
pages,  illustrated  with  over  one  hundred  exquisitely  executed  engravings  made  expressly  for 
this  work.  It  treats  very  fully  of  Mathematical  and  Physical  Geography,  and  in  addition  to 
the  usual  descriptive  matter  embraces  a  great  variety  of  Map  Questions,  Directions  for  the 
use  of  Globes  with  numerous  Problems  on  them,  and  a  Glossary  of  Geographical  Terms. 

The  work  embraces  a  system  of  Reviews,  in  which  the  questions,  presented  in  new  forms, 
require  the  pupil  to  look  at  the  subject  in  different  lights,  and  to  compare  and  digest  the  vari- 
ous facts  he  has  learned.  Having  just  been  thoroughly  revised,  it  embodies  the  results  of 
recent  discoveries,  and  will  be  kept  in  all  respects  up  to  the  times  as  a  reliable  exponent  of 
the  present  state  of  geographical  knowledge. 

THE  COMPANION  ATLAS,  which  is  larger  than  the  usual  School  Atlases,  is  unques- 
tionably one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  attractive  volumes  ever  published.  It  contains  two 
sets  of  Maps— one  for  study,  the  other  for  reference.  Both  have  been  prepared  with  the 
utmost  care,  they  are  based  on  the  latest  authorities,  and  have  been  brought  fully  up  to  date 
by  recent  revisions.  They  will  be  found  fuller  and  more  reliable  than  the  maps  of  other 
Atlases  of  similar  grade,  and  are  admirably  adapted  to  the  wants  of  both  schools  and  families. 

The  Physical  Geography.* 

This  work  is  believed  to  be  the  most  judicious,  useful,  and  attractive  text-book  yet  pub- 
lished on  the  important  subject  of  which  it  treats.  It  avoids  the  dry  and  statistical  style  of 
former  Physical  Geographies,  and  unfolds  the  great  mysteries  of  Nature,  as  exhibited  in  con- 
nection with  the  past  and  present  condition  of  our  planet,  in  a  clear  and  striking  manner 
that  at  once  awakens  the  warmest  interest  in  the  learner.  Its  illustrations  are  numerous  and 
beautiful.  Its  maps  are  magnificently  executed,  and  accompanied  with  a  great  variety  of 
map-questions  which  insure  that  their  contents  are  thoroughly  memorized.    The  researches 

9 


CORNELLS  SERIES  OF  GEOGRAPHIES. 


of  Humboldt,  Dove,  and  otbor  eminent  writers,  Lave  been  turned  to  the  best  account.  The 
physical  features  of  our  own  country  receive  minute  attention  ;  and  we  are  confident  that 
teachers  who  once  use  this  work  will  be  unwilling  to  exchange  it  for  any  other. 

This  series,  so  well  known  to  American  teachers,  has  been  recently  revised.  The  Map- 
questions  have  been  brought  in  all  cases  directly  opposite  the  Map  to  which  they  refer,  and 
have  been  curtailed  sufficiently  to  admit  in  the  Intermediate  a  well-condensed  Summary  of 
Physical  Geography — and  in  the  Grammar-School  very  full  details  of  the  Physical  Geography 
of  our  own  country,  as  well  as  a  simple  and  practical  system  of  Map-drawing.  The  engrav- 
ings have  been  executed  by  our  best  artists ;  they,  as  well  as  the  typography,  will  speak  for 
themselves.  The  magnificent  Maps  are  the  result  of  much  experiment  and  labor,  to  which  the 
publishers  point  with  pride  as  the  most  beautiful  specimens  in  this  line  of  art  ever  offered  to  the 
American  public. 

No  other  School-Books  have  received  such  general  and  unqualified  commendation  as  has  been 
awarded  to  the  Cornell  Scries  by  the  Press,  by  State,  County,  and  Town  School  Officers  /  by 
Presidents  and  Professors  of  Colleges,  Principals  of  Academies,  and  Teachers  of  Public  and 
Private  Schools  throughout  the  country. 

Prom  thousands  of  Letters  of  Commendation,  we  have  room  only  for  the  following : — 


From  the  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Education,  City  of 
New  York. 

"  Gentlemen— -In  answer  to  your  inquiry  in  re- 
gard to  the  use  of  Cornell's  Series  of  Geographies 
in  the  Public  Schools  of  New  York,  I  will  state  that 
since  their  publication,  about  four-fifths  of  the 
whole  number  of  geographies  used  in  the  schools 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  Education 
(25,000  copies  a  year)  have  been  of  Cornell's  Series. 
This  must  be  quite  gratifying  to  both  author  and 
publishers,  as  the  teachers  are  left  free  to  choose 
such  as  they  deem  best  adapted  to  the  purposes  of 
instruction.1' 

From  Rev.  Levi  W.  Hart,  Rector  College  Gram- 
mar School,  Brooklyn. 
"Cornell's  Grammar-School  Geography  is  a 
perfect  classic,  as  a  school-book,  because  it  inspires 
a  deep  interest  in  the  study  it  presents,  and  meets 
that  very  interest,  secures  a  varied  statement  of  the 
facts,  and  reviews  them  closely.  The  boys,  with 
scarcely  an  exception,  learn  the  whole  of  every  les- 
son, and  compete  keenly  with  each  other  as  to  the 
accuracy  and  fulness  of  information  which  they 
can  gain." 

From  A.  W.  Howland,  Chairman  School  Comm., 
West  port,  Mass. 

"After  a  six  months'  trial  of  's  Primary 

and  Common-School  Geographies  in  our  Common 
Schools,  and  carefully  watching  this  practical  test 
of  those  text-books,  we  find  they  fail  to  awaken 
that  interest,  and  occupy  that  place  as  instructors, 
we  had  hoped  for.  In  fact,  we  have  proved  them 
to  be  so  inadequate  to  our  wants  that  we  have  de- 
cided to  remove  them  from  our  schools  and  sub- 


stitute for  them  Cornell's  Series.  These,  after  a 
thorough  examination  and  trial— for  they  are  al- 
ready in  use— prove  to  be  more  acceptable  and  sat- 
isfactory than  any  book  of  the  kind  we  have  ever  had 
in  our  Common  Schools.  Ttvey  are  giving  the 
greatest  satisfaction" 

From  Prof.  George  M.  Dews,  Supt.  of  Schools, 
Columbus,  Ga. 
M  After  a  close  examination  of  the  Revised  Pri- 
mary Geography,  I  can  without  any  hesitation  Bay 
that  it  is  the  best  of  the  kind  of  which  I  have  any 
knowledge.  The  Maps  are  perfect  beauties,  the 
arrangement  of  the  text  excellent.  In  the  same 
terms  can  I  speak  of  the  Revised  Intermediate." 

From  J.  W.  Bulklet,  City  Supt.  of  Schools,  Brook- 
lyn. 

"Cornell's  Geographies  have  been  espe- 
cial favorites  in  the  Brooklyn  schools  from  the 
time  of  their  first  publication.  Their  excellent 
method  for  memorizing  the  contents  of  the  Maps, 
their  judicious  selection  from  a  mass  of  unim- 
portaut  details  of  what  alone  is  necessary  to  be 
learned,  their  inductive  system  by  which  one  thing 
is  presented  at  a  time,  and  each  in  its  proper  order, 
have  commended  them  to  our  Teachers  beyond  all 
other  works  on  the  same  subject.  In  the  New 
Edition  of  the  Intermediate  I  find  many  additional 
features  of  great  value,  which  place  the  work,  in 
my  estimation,  far  in  advance  of  all  competitors. 
Its  magnificent  Maps,  with  their  sharp  lettering 
and  tasteful  coloring,  cannot  be  too  highly  praised ; 
its  illustrations  are  spirited,  and  its  topography  is 
admirable.  In  every  respect  the  volume  meets 
with  my  hearty  approval."

D.  APPLETON  <&  GO:S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS 


The  Elementary  Spelling-Book.* 

BY  NOAH  WEBSTER,  LL.D. 
16mo.  108  pp. 

This  notable  little  volume  has  now  been  before  the  country  more  than  thirty  years,  and 
in  that  time  over  30,000,000  copies  of  it  have  been  made  and  sold.  It  would  be  impos- 
sible to  say  how  many  of  the  men  and  women  of  our  country,  now  living,  and  under  forty 
years. of  age,  began  their  education  with  this  book,  learned  from  its  pages  to  distinguish 
between  the  shapes  of  those  terrible  tormentors  of  child-life,  the  twenty-six  letters  of  the 
Alphabet,  and  were  initiated  into  the  great  mysteries  of  a,  b — ab,  and  kindred  combina- 
tions. The  number  is  very  large,  but  of  the  rising  generation  certainly  a  great  majority 
will  be  of  this  class.  This  book  has  "taught  the  young  idea"  of  the  whole  country  that 
customary  piece  of  juvenile  gunnery  of  which  you  have  so  often  heard.  The  fact  that  there 
is  no  other  really  excellent  book  of  the  class,  having  any  thing  like  its  circulation,  has  estab- 
lished this  work  everywhere  as  a  truly  national  standard,  of  which  we  print  484  copies  per 
hour,  during  10  hours  of  each  of  the  310  working  days  of  the  year;  or  4,840  copies  per 
day,  being  over  1,500,000  per  annum. 

THE  SAME,  fine  edition,  price  38  cents. 

The  low  price  at  which  the  ordinary  edition  is  sold,  being  inconsistent  with  that  elegant 
appearance  which  is  required  of  books  in  many  of  our  best  schools,  we  have,  at  the  earnest 
solicitation  of  numerous  teachers,  issued  a  neat  edition  on  fine  paper. 


Learning  to  Spell,  to  Read,  to  Write, 

and  to  Compose.- 

BY    J.    A.   JACOBS,  A.M. 

PRINCIPAL  OP  THE  KENTUCKY  INSTITUTE  FOR  THE  EDUCATION  OF  DEAF  MUTES 

16mo.  332  pages,  514  Illustrations.  Price  75  cents. 

The  endeavor  in  this  book  is  to  teach  a  child  to  exert  his  intellect,  and  to  learn  to  think, 
at  the  same  time  that  he  is  learning  to  spell  and  to  read.  It  is  thought  that  children  are 
taught  too  much  by  rote  ;  that  they  are  all  sufficiently  intelligent  to  understand  the  reason 
of  what  they  are  required  to  learn,  and  that  if  this  reason  is  clearly  given  to  them  with  the 
lesson,  they  will  learn  much  more  readily,  and  remember  infinitely  better,  just  as  grown 
persons  will  remember  the  phrase  that  expresses  an  idea,  when  they  will  forget  any  arbitrary 
collocation  of  words.  The  same  book  has  been  used  with  great  success  in  the  education  of 
deaf  mutes,  and  its  system  is  certainly  worth  a  trial  upon  pupils  who  can  not  be  at  any  dis- 
advantage through  the  possession  of  two  additional  senses.

First  Lessons  in  Mechanics: 

WITH  PRACTICAL  APPLICATIONS,  DESIGNED  FOR  THE  USE  OF  SCHOOLS. 

BY  WILLIAM  E.  WORTHEN. 
12mo.  192  pages.  Price  75  cents. 

It  is  believed  that  this  volume  meets,  in  a  condensed  and  simple  form,  the  wants  of  those 
Schools  that  appreciate  the  importance  of  this  subject.  The  fundamental  principles  of 
Mechanics  are  unfolded,  and  their  more  common  applications  explained.  Avoiding  mere 
theory  and  reasoning,  the  author  has  presented  results  simply,  confining  himself  throughout 
to  matters  of  general  practical  utility.  With  this  view,  he  has  treated  chieliy  of  the  simple 
mechanical  powers,  the  most  important  machines  in  which  they  are  combined,  the  composi- 
tion and  resolution  of  forces,  the  centre  of  gravity,  motive  powers,  water-wheels,  the  steam 
engine,  gearing  and  shafting,  the  various  kinds  of  pumps,  and  friction,  with  its  effects  on 
machinery.

the  book  some  notice,  and  would  say  that  the  ar- 
rangement, and  easy  as  well  as  natural  style  of  the 
work,  please  me  much.  This  Department  of  Natu- 
ral Philosophy  is  quite  difficult  to  be  understood  by 
pupils,  but  the  manner  in  which  Mr.  "Worthen  has 
treated  the  subject,  I  think,  will  remove  much  of  the 
trouble  which  has  been  heretofore  experienced.." 

From  P.  P.  Brown,  Jr.,  Princ.  of  Grammar  School,

"  I  have  examined  with  considerable  care  a  little 


and  the  clearness  and  abundance  of  its  illustra- 
tions, combined  with  its  numerous  practical  exam- 
ples, render  it  just  the  book  needed  to  make  the 
pupils  in  the  different  grades  of  schools  acquainted 
with  a  subject  which  ought  to  be  familiar  to  all 
classes  of  society."

The  Shakespearian  Reader." 

BY  JOHN  W.  S.  HOWS. 
12mo.  447  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  volume  contains  a  collection  of  the  most  approved  plays  ef  Shakespeare,  carefully 
revised,  with  introductory  and  explanatory  notes,  and  a  memoir  of  the  author.  Designed  for 
the  use  of  schools  and  the  family  reading  circle. 

The  method  of  the  volume  is  first  a  brief  reference  to  the  history  of  the  play,  then  the 
presentation  of  leading  acts  and  scenes,  connected  by  simple  narrative,  sufficient  to  keep  up 
with  the  story,  and  give  the  pupil  an  understanding  of  the  whole  text.

No  more  practical  or  acceptable  text-book  can  be  found  for  Young  Ladies'  Seminaries, 
or  Academies  of  any  kind,  in  which  it  is  desired  to  impart  a  correct  and  thorough  knowledge 
of  English  Literature  in  a  reasonably  brief  space  of  time.  For  private  study  or  family  read- 
ing, it  will  be  found  equally  valuable. 


The  Natural  Speaker. 

BEING  SELECTIONS  TO  AID  THE  STUDENT  IX  ACQUIRING  A  SIMPLE,  NATURAL, 
BUSINESS-LIKE  STYLE  OF  SPEAKING. 

BY  JOSEPH  ALDEN,  D.  D.,  LL.  D., 

PRESIDENT  OP  NEW  YORK  STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL. 

WITH  A  PREFATORY  NOTE  BY  JAMES  M'COSH,  D.D.,  LL.  D.,  PRES.  OF  PPJXCETOX  COLLEGE, 

12mo.  302  pages,  Price  $1.25. 

This  book  is  made  up  of  selections  from  the  choicest  portions  of  some  of  the  choicest 
writers  of  the  language.  Hence  it  may  be  profitably  used  as  a  reading-book  for  classes  in 
Rhetoric. 

None  of  the  selections  in  prose  have  appeared  in  any  similar  work.  They  are  short,  but 
sufficiently  long  for  the  object  in  view,  which  is,  to  furnish  exercises  in  simple,  natural  busi- 
ness-like speaking.  Those  who  would  form  a  theatrical,  declamatory  manner,  will  find  in  it 
nothing  adapted  to  their  purpose.

Class-Book  of  Poetry.* 

BY  ELIZA  BOBBINS. 
16mo.  252  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

In  no  other  way  can  an  elegant  style  of  expression  and  a  taste  for  the  beauties  of  litera- 
ture be  so  readily  imparted  to  the  young  as  by  making  them  familiar  with  poetry.  This 
fact  is  admitted  by  our  best  educators,  and  it  was  a  conviction  of  its  truth  that  induced 
the  author  to  undertake  the  task  of  preparing  a  "  Class-Book  of  Poetry."  She  has  drawn 
with  care  and  judgment  on  the  purest  and  most  distinguished  writers  of  England  and 
America,  and  has  made  a  compilation  which,  in  point  of  interest,  variety,  and  general  merit, 
challenges  comparison.  No  young  person  can  go  through  it  without  being  benefited  mor- 
ally as  well  as  intellectually. 

One  great  advantage  of  the  book  consists  in  the  interspersing  of  remarks,  to  explain  dif- 
ficult words  and  obscure  allusions  of  every  kind,  and  furnish  information  respecting  the 
lives  of  the  authors  from  whom  the  extracts  are  taken.  A  few  words  thus  judiciously  in- 
troduced awaken  the  pupil's  interest  in  the  subjects  treated,  and  enable  him  to  read  un- 
derstandingly,  and  therefore  correctly. 

The  number  of  public  and  private  academies  and  young  ladies'  seminaries  in  which  this 
work  is  used,  attests  its  excellence  as  a  school-book. 


Guide  to  Knowledge.* 

BY  ELIZA  ROBBINS. 

16mo.  417  pages.  Price  $1.00. 

This  work  contains  a  large  amount  of  useful  information,  communicated  in  an  entertain 
ing  and  easy  style,  by  familiar  questions  and  answers  on  every-day  subjects,  such  as  children 
are  constantly  asking  questions  about.  Beginning  with  elementary  topics,  it  ranges  ovei 
the  whole  circle  of  useful  knowledge,  embracing  some  of  the  most  important  facts  connect- 
ed with  Geography,  Botany,  Natural  History,  Physiology,  Architecture,  and  Domestic 
Economy,  besides  a  vast  amount  of  miscellaneous  information.  The  language  is  simple, 
the  style  unpretending,  the  arrangement  judicious,  the  selection  of  facts  highly  attractive. 
For  awakening  thought  and  storing  the  mind  with  information  which  will  be  useful 
throughout  life,  yet  which  many  become  men  and  women  without  acquiring,  few  volumes 
will  be  found  more  valuable. 


From  Arthur's  Home  Journal. 
"  Every  parent  who  remembers  how  often  he  has 
been  puzzled  to  answer  in  an  intelligible  mam  er  the 
acute  yet  simple  questions  put  by  a  thoughtful  child, 
will  be  glad  to  hail,  in  a  book  of  this  kind,  a  solution 
to  a  great  extent  of  this  difficulty.  It  is  not,  of  course, 
to  be  expected  that  any  volume  will  give  an  explana- 
tion to  every  question  which  a  child  may  happen  to 
put;  for  many  such  inquiries  touch  upon  the  profound- 
est  subjects,  and  are  not  capable  of  being  simplified  in 
iuch  a  manner  as  to  be  brought  satisfactorily  home  to 


the  comprehension  of  a  youthful  mind ;  but  so  far  as  it 
was  possible  to  give  brief,  clear,  and  pertinent  answers 
on  the  various  subjects  appertaining  to  every-day  life, 
it  has  been  accomplished  in  this  volume." 

From  the  Journal  and  Messenger. 
"It  is  a  storehouse  of  various  information  for  the 
young.  We  know  of  no  elementary  book,  that  with 
the  necessary  aid  of  judicious  instructors,  and  suita- 
ble illustrative  helps,  can  be  made  more  useful  ta 
youth."

From  George  P.  Williams,  Prof,  of  Mathematics 
and  Natural  Philosophy,  University  of  Mich. 
"  After  an  examination  of  the  last  editions  of 
these  works,  I  am  prepared  to  repeat  the  opinion 
formerly  expressed,  that  they  are  the  best  Arith- 
metics in  use,  or  accessible  in  this  part  of  our 
country." 

From  I.  W.  Jackson,  A.  M.,  Prof,  of  Mathematics 
in  Union  College. 
"  The  Higher  Arithmetic  is  a  work  of  an  order 
superior  to  any  that  has  been  issued  from  the 
American  press.  Indeed,  I  am  acquainted  with  no 
work  on  Arithmetic  in  the  English  language  equal 
to  it.  I  am  confident  that  its  general  adoption  as  a 
text-book,  by  our  seminaries,  would  be  considered, 
by  all  who  feel  an  interest  in  the  promotion  of  the 
exact  sciences,  as  an  omen  of  good." 

From  the  Literary  World. 
"  This  is  by  far  the  most  scientific  Elemen- 
tary Arithmetic  we  have  seen.  There  are  a  neat- 
ness of  arrangement,  a  dispersion  of  matter,  an 
accuracy  and  force  of  statement,  which  prepare 
the  learner  from  the  onset  for  the  handling  of  the 
higher  mathematics.  It  also  has  a  neat  typographi- 
cal dress,  for  which  the  publishers  may  rightly 
congratulate  themselves,  as  well  as  by  the  method 
of  the  author.  There  is  a  clean  and  clear  style 
about  the  whole  book.  It  is  straightforward,  with- 


out repetition,  brings  related  subjects  into  apposi- 
tion, simplifies  difficulties,  and  is  practically  use- 
ful." 

From  William  L.  Eaton,  Prof,  of  Mathematics 
Branch  of  University,  Kalamazoo,  Mich. 
"  I  have  examined  Prof.  Perkins's  Arithmetics, 
and  like  them  much  for  their  conciseness  and  com- 
prehensiveness, as  well  as  the  practical  nature  of 
their  examples.  The  Higher  Arithmetic  is,  in  my 
opinion,  what  it  purports  to  be,  a  Higher  Arith- 
metic, and  such  a  one  as  all  those  who  design  to  be 
thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  science  of  num- 
bers should  be  familiar  with." 

From  the  Chicago  Daily  Journal. 
"  We  have  a  copy  of  the  Elementary  Arithmetic 
lying  before  us,  which  is  worthy  of  the  patronage 
of  all  friends  of  education.  Whether  in  the  au- 
thors clear  and  brief  elucidation  of  first  principles, 
his  treatment  of  that  old  1  Golden  Eule  1  of  num- 
bers, the  Kule  of  Three,  his  disposition  of  Frac- 
tions, his  explanation  of  the  Square  and  Cube 
Root  (so  often  roots  of  bitterness  to  the  young 
learner),  his  exercises  in  analysis,  or  his  admir- 
able arrangement  of  the  whole,  there  is  much  to 
commend  and  but  little  to  condemn,  and  it  is  nor, 
so  much  a  matter  of  wonder  that  Prof.  Perkins 
has  produced  such  a  work,  as  that  some  one  had 
not  long  ago  anticipated  him."

JPERKIXS*  ALGEBRAIC  SERIES. 


PERKINS'  ALGEBRAIC  SERIES. 


I.    Elements  of  Algebra/ 

12mo.  244  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

The  want  of  a  text-book  on  Algebra  sufficiently  simple  for  common  schools  was  long  and 
seriously  felt ;  it  is  now  supplied  by  this  work  of  Prof.  Perkins.  Many  years'  experience 
in  training  the  youthful  mind,  and  instilling  into  it  the  principles  of  mathematical  science, 
has  enabled  the  author  to  adapt  himself  to  the  dullest  comprehension  and  to  remove  the 
difficulties  that  have  hitherto  impeded  the  scholar's  progress. 

Among  the  peculiar  merits  of  this  work,  besides  its  simplicity  already  alluded  to.  are 
the  conciseness  of  its  rules  and  definitions  ;  its  close  and  logical  reasoning,  which  calls  the 
powers  of  the  learner  into  active  exercise  ;  and  the  great  number  and  variety  of  its  exam 
pies,  which  afford  every  opportunity  for  extended  practice. 

II.    Treatise  on  Algebra:* 

EMBRACING,  BESIDES  THE  ELEMENTARY  PRINCIPLES,  ALL  TIIE  HIGHER  PARTS  USUALLY 
TAUGHT  IN  COLLEGES;  CONTAINING,  MOREOVER,  THE  NEW  METHOD  OF  CUBIC 
AND  HIGHER  EQUATIONS,  AS  WELL  AS  TIIE  DEVELOPMENT  AND  APPLICA- 
TION OF  THE  MORE  RECENTLY  DISCOVERED  THEOREM  OF  STURM. 

8vo.  Sheep.  420  pages.  Price  82.00. 

What  the  Elements  are  to  Common  Schools,  this  Treatise  is  to  Academies  and  Colleges. 
It  will  be  seen  from  the  title,  given  above,  that  it  is  comprehensive  and  complete.  The 
principles  of  the  science  are  combined  and  arranged  on  a  new  pZan,  which  renders  the  in- 
crease in  difficulty  exceedingly  gradual.  The  method  of  finding  the  numerical  values  oi 
the  roots  of  Cubic  and  Higher  Equations,  and  the  application  of  Sturm's  Theorem,  open  up 
to  the  student  new  fields  as  interesting  as  they  are  important.  Nothing  valuable  found  in 
other  text-books  is  omitted  ;  while  much  that  has  been  gleaned  by  extensive  reading  from 
the  later  treatises  of  France  and  Germany  is  presented — and  that  in  a  form  which  bears 
the  impress  of  a  master's  hand. 

The  numerous  institutions  in  which  the  Treatise  has  been  adopted  as  the  standard  text- 
book on  Algebra,  speak  of  its  practical  workings  in  the  highest  terms.  A  few  certificates 
relating  to  it,  as  well  as  the  Elements,  are  appended. 


From  Gerardfs  B.  Docdartt,  Professor  of  Mathe- 
matics, Free  Acad&ny,  N.  Y. 
"The  Treatise  on  Algebrs,  as  a  text-book,  has  no 
superior.  Its  arrangement  is  excellent;  the  rules 
explicit,  the  explanations  lucid,  and  the  style  in  which 
it  is  ■written  is  well  adapted  to  lead  the  tyro  rapidly  to 
h  skilful  knowledge  of  the  higher  analysis." 

From  P.  M  W.  Redfield,  late  Assistant  Professor  of 
Jfathe77iatics,  2T.  Y.  University. 
"I  have  examined,  with  much  satisfaction,  Perkins' 
ilgebraic  Series,  and  believe  the  Treatise  is  inferior  to 
none  in  point  of  clearness,  accuracy,  and  logical  devel- 
opment For  his  Elementary  work  on  Algebra,  the  au- 
thor deserves  the  thanks  of  teachers.  He  seems  to  have 
been  the  first  to  discover  that,  even  in  the  education  of 
children,  a  course  of  conclusive  reasoning  may  with 
profit  supersede  the  old  system  of  dogmatical  dictation.'"

From  Ciiarles  Avery  A.  M.,  A.  A.  S.,  Professor  in 
Hamilton  College. 
"I  have  examined  Perkins' Algebra,  and  am  pleased 
with  it.  I  esteem  it  a  valuable  work  of  the  kind,  and 
do  therefore  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  the  confidence 
and  patronage  of  the  public." 

From  Prof.  Jacksox,  of  Union  College. 
"I  have  examined  Prof.  Perkins'  Elements  of  Alge- 
bra. It  is  a  work  in  which  the  peculiar  merits  of  the 
French  and  English  systems  are  combined ;  the  prac- 
tical and  theoretical  being  made  to  illustrate  each  other. 
It  is  consequently  better  adapted  to  elementary  instruc- 
tion in  our  seminaries  than  any  work  I  have  seen.  In 
deed,  it  is  equally  fitted  for  the  common  school  and  the 
college,  as  the  elementary  principles  are  exhibited  suffi- 
ciently in  detail  and  with  admirable  clearness^  and  the 
higher  parts  of  the  science  are  fully  and  ably  discussed."

PERKINS'  GEOMETRICAL  SERIES 


I.    Elements  of  Geometry/ 

WITH    PRACTICAL  APPLICATIONS. 
12mo.  3^0  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

In  these  Elements  it  is  aimed  to  strip  Geometry  of  its  difficulties,  and  render  it  an  attract- 
ive study.  This  is  effected  hy  giving  a  practical  hearing  to  every  thing  that  is  taught.  Tha 
pupil  is  not  allowed  to  grope  in  the  dark,  and  ask,  "  What  is  the  use  of  these  demonstra- 
tions?" As  soon  as  a  principle  is  explained,  it  is  applied  to  the  practical  purposes  of  life 
by  means  of  remarks,  suggestions,  and  questions,  added  in  smaller  type.  This  original 
feature  invests  Geometry  with  an  interest  of  which  its  apparently  abstract  character  haa 
heretofore  deprived  it. 

An  Appendix,  containing  the  solution  of  some  geometrical  problems  by  means  of  Algebra,, 
shows  the  facility  with  which  difficult  cases  yield  to  the  analytical  method  of  investigation. 
The  relation  between  the  branches  of  mathematical  science  is  also  made  clear  by  the  exhi- 
bition of  some  curious  Theorems,  evolved  by  translating  the  results  of  algebraic  deductions 
into  geometrical  language. 

II.    Plane  and  Solid  Geometry:* 

TO  WHICH  ARE  ADDED, 

PLANE  AND  SPHERICAL  TRIGONOMETRY  AND  MENSURATION,  ACCOMPANIED  WITH  ALL 
THE  NECKSSARY  LOGARITHMIC  AND  TRIGONOMETRIC  TABLES. 

Large  8vo.  443  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

This  work  is  intended  to  follow  the  Elements,  and  gives  an  extended  course  in  the  higher 
as  well  as  the  more  rudimental  departments  of  the  science,  adapted  for  advanced  schools 
and  colleges.  It  is  based  on  the  admirable  work  of  Vincent,  revised  by  Bourdon,  which 
has  long  been  the  geometrical  standard  in  the  French  schools.  All  that  is  valuable  in 
Vincent  has  been  taken ;  but  the  mathematical  attainments  and  practical  skill  of  Prof. 
Perkins  are  everywhere  exhibited  in  adapting,  modifying,  rearranging,  and  adding.  No 
labor  has  been  spared  to  make  every  point  clear  and  satisfactory  to  the  pupil,  for  without 
this  there  can  be  neither  pleasure  nor  profit  in  pursuing  the  study.  Every  case  is  illus- 
trated with  examples,  wrought  out  in  full  wherever  this  seemed  to  be  necessary  to  their 
thorough  comprehension. 

That  part  of  the  work  which  relates  to  the  applications  of  Geometry  is  worthy  of  special 
attention.  It  is  believed  that  the  first  principles  of  Plane  and  Spherical  Trigonometry  ana 
Mensuration  have  never  before  been  unfolded  with  such  clearness  as  in  this  volume. 


An  eminent  Professor  of  Mathematics,  in  speaking 
of  Perkins''  Elements  of  Geometry,  says : 
"We  have  adopted  it,  because  it  follows  more  closely 
the  best  model  of  pure  geometrical  reasoning  which 
ever  has  been  and  perhaps  ever  will  be  exhibited ;  and 
because  the  author  has  condensed  some  of  the  impor- 
tant principles  of  the  great  master  of  geometricians,  and 
more  especially  has  shown  that  his  theorems  are  not 
mere  theory,  by  many  practical  applications;  a

PERKIN&  GEOMETRICAL  SERIES. 


From  Pkof.  "Wm.  M.  Gillespie,  of  Union  College. 

"  Prof.  Perkins'  new  Geometry  I  regard  as  the  most 
.mportant  advance  in  the  study  of  that  science  in  this 
country,  since  Legendre's  was  substituted  for  Euclid's. 
That  was  a  great  step  in  progress;  for,  though  the  stu- 
dent may  well  begin  with  mastering  the  First  Book 
5f  Euclid  for  its  method,  life  is  too  short  to  learn  in  that 
way  all  the  truths  of  Geometry.   But  Legendre  is  now  ' 


becoming  antiquated  in  France,  and  his  book  is  usuauj 
accompanied  with  additions  and  annotations.  The 
most  complete  work  is  that  of  Vincent,  edited  by  his 
well-known  father-in-law,  Bourdon.  Prof.  Perkins  has 
wisely  made  this  the  basis  of  his  new  Elements,  which 
therefore  deserves  a  very  careful  examination  by  everj 
teacher.  Its  leading  features  are  new  and  valuable,  and 
the  experience  of  Prof.  Perkins  as  a  teacher  and  a  wri- 
1  ter  renders  it  probable  that  its  details  are  equally  good." 


Perkins'  Plane  Trigonometry,* 

AND  ITS  APPLICATION  TO  MENSURATION  AND  LAND  SURVEYING,  ACCOMPANIED  "WITH 
ALL  THE  NECESSARY  LOGARITHMIC  AND  TRIGONOMETRIC  TABLES. 

8vo.  328  pages.  Sheep.  Price  $2.00. 

Lying  at  the  foundation  of  Surveying  and  Navigation,  it  is  highly  important  that  Trigo- 
nometry should  be  thoroughly  understood  by  the  practical  student.  Feeling  the  want  of 
a  suitable  text-book  in  his  own  instructions,  Mr.  Perkins  has  applied  himself  to  the  task 
of  producing  one,  keeping  constantly  in  mind  the  capabilities  of  the  young  mathematical 
student,  and  calling  to  his  aid  his  large  experience  in  teaching  the  subjeet,  and  his  original 
improvements  and  discoveries  connected  therewith. 

His  work  is  remarkable  for  its  simplicity,  and  bears  throughout  the  marks  of  its  practical 
origin.  The  beginner  in  the  science  and  the  proficient  will  alike  find  matter  of  prime 
value  in  its  pages.  The  chapters  on  Land  Surveying  will  prove  of  incalculable  assistance 
to  those  who  intend  following  this  pursuit  in  life.  The  necessary  Tables  are  furnished  in 
an  Appendix,  and  it  is  believed  that  there  are  no  mistakes  in  the  figures  to  annoy  teacher 
and  scholar.  The  type  used  in  these  Tables  has  been  cast  expressly  for  them  in  the  old 
style  of  Arabic  digits,  which,  it  is  generally  admitted,  is  less  fatiguing  to  the  eye  than  that 
now  commonly  used. 


From  E.  S.  Smell,  Professor  of  Mathematics  and 
Natural  Philosophy,  Amherst  College. 
"  So  far  as  I  can  as  yet  judge,  it  is  to  be  ranked  among 
the  most  lucid  and  best  arranged  treatises  on  these  snb- 
iects.  It  is  also  quite  complete,  and  contains  some  pe- 
culiar and  elegant  discussions.  The  Tables  I  admire 
for  their  beautiful  clearness;  and,  Indeed,  the  typogra- 
phy of  the  whole  work  does  much  credit  to  the  pub- 
lishers." 

From  Wm.  J.  Rolfe,  recent  Principal  of  Day  Acad- 
emy, Wrentham,  Mass. 
"  I  have  taken  two  classes  through  Perkins1  Trigo- 
nometry, and  do  not  hesitate  to  place  it  very  far  above 
any  similar  work  that  I  have  ever  taught  I  do  not 
believe  there  is  a  book  before  the  public,  which  con- 
tains half  as  much  practical  matter  on  the  subject  of 
Surveying.  I  have  taken  every  opportunity  to  recom- 
mend it  to  my  fellow-teachers,  and  have  no  doubt  that 
Bome  of  them  will  adopt  it" 


From  Pkof.  Heney  H.  White,  Canton,  Missouri. 

"The  Treatise  on  Trigonometry  is  very  clear  and 
well  arranged;  and  he  who  masters  it  can  have  no 
possible  difficulty  in  applying  its  principles  to  all  prac- 
tical problems." 


From  J.  Zchitek,  Professor  of  Mathematics,  College 
of  St.  Michaels  and  All  Angels. 
"  It  contains,  in  a  condensed  form,  all  the  principles 
of  Plane  Trigonometry  that  will,  most  likely,  be  needed 
in  its  application  to  the  practical  purposes  of  life.  They 
are  explained  and  demonstrated  in  a  plain  and  concise 
manner,  and  the  various  examples  and  problems  solved 
and  unsolved  are  well  calculated  to  make  the  student 
familiar  with  their  principles  and  expert  in  the  appli- 
cation of  them.  The  practical  bearing  of  the  work  will 
no  doubt  make  it  a  useful  manual  to  the  surveyor  and 
engineer." 


The  Literary  World,  in  speaking  of  Perkins'1  Plane 
Trigonometry  aiid  Surveying,  says: 
"The  Mathematical  Series  of  Mr.  Perkins  has  ob- 
tained a  high  reputation  for  clear  and  perspicuous  ar- 
rangement, and  an  especial  adaptation  to  the  wants  of 
practical  men.  These  desiderata  are  not  wanting  in 
the  present  work. 

"The  rectangular  system  of  calculating  the  areas  of 
irregular  plots  of  land,  bounded  by  straight  lines,  is 
elegantly  illustrated  and  accompanied  by  numerous  ex- 
amples. The  Tables  of  Logarithms  and  Logarithms  of 
Natural  Sines,  &c,  are  printed  In  the  form  of  type  used 
in  French  mathematical  works,  and  are,  in  other  re- 
spects, valuable  to  students,  mechanics,  and  surveyors.*

9.  Methods  of  avoiding  obstacles  in  angular  survey 
ing  occupy  24  pages,  with  35  figures. 

10.  Topographical  Mapping  is  fully  described,  with 
illustrations. 

11.  Laying  out,  parting  off,  and  dividing  up  land,  are

12.  The  most  recent  improvements  in  the  methods 
of  surveying  the  public  lands  of  the  United  States,  with 
the  methods  used  for  marking  "corners,"  are  minutely 
described  from  official  authorities. 


A  double  ohject  has  been  kept  in  view  in  the  preparation  of  the  volume,  viz.,  to  make 
an  introductory  treatise  easy  to  he  mastered  hy  the  young  scholar  or  the  practical  man  of 
little  previous  acquirement,  the  only  pre-requisites  heing  arithmetic  and  a  little  geometry  ; 
and,  at  the  same  time,  to  make  the  instruction  of  such  a  character  as  to  lay  a  foundation 
broad  enough  and  deep  enough  for  the  most  complete  superstructure  which  the  professional 
student  may  subsequently  wish  to  raise  upon  it. 


From  Pbof.  D.  H.  Mahan,  West  Point  Academy. 
"  In  this  treatise,  Prof.  Gillespie  has  given  another 
evidence  of  bis  practical  acquaintance  with  the  wants 
of  the  teacher  and  pupil  in  his  specialty,  and  of  his 
ability  to  meet  them.  His  work,  which  presents  sev- 
eral new  features  in  its  plan,  is  written  with  such  plain- 
ness, and  illustrated  with  such  copiousness  of  diagram 
and  detail,  as  cannot  fail  to  render  the  subject  of  easy 
attainment  to  the  most  ordinary  comprehension." 

From  the  N.  Y.  Tribune. 
u  Prof.  Gillespie,  who  so  ably  fills  the  chair  of  Civil 
Engineering  in  Union  College,  has  acquired  an  honor- 
able fame  for  the  zeal,  intelligence,  and  energy  with 
which  he  has  devoted  himself  to  the  advancement  of 
his  favorite  science.  In  the  present  volume  he  has 
performed  a  new  and  excellent  service  to  the  cause  of 


popular  education.  His  work  is  not  a  mere  compilation 
from  former  treatises.  He  has  aimed  at  a  higher  object 
than  rethreshing  old  straw.  Convinced  that  the  art  of 
surveying,  in  spite  of  its  vast  practical  importance,  its 
utility  as  a  branch  of  study,  and  its  admirable  illustra- 
tions of  the  bearings  of  pure  mathematics,  has  never 
yet  been  reduced  to  a  complete  and  harmonious  sys- 
tem, he  has  endeavored  to  unfold  a  few  simple  princi- 
ples as  the  foundation  for  the  art,  which  is  equally  ap- 
plicable to  taking  the  dimensions  of  a  cornfield  and  to 
the  measurement  of  the  starry  heavens.  .  .  .  For  the 
accuracy  and  completeness  with  which  the  subject  has 
been  treated  by  Prof.  Gillespie,  his  scientific  reputation 
affords  a  presumptive  guarantee;  but  this  is  a  point  to 
be  decided  by  experts ;  the  clearness  of  his  method* 
and  the  fullness  of  the  information  which  he  impart* 
are  obvious,  however,  to  the  uninitiated  outsider."

GILLESPIE'S  LAND  SURVEYING. 


Extract  from,  a  Letter  from  Hon.  A.  C.  Paige,  Judge 
of  Supreme  Court. 
"  Of  its  usefulness  to  surveyors,  civil  engineers,  and 
land  proprietors,  its  simplification  of  principles,  and  the 
lucid  and  systematic  arrangement  of  its  subjects,  it  is 
unnecessary  for  me  to  speak.  But  I  would  wish  to 
bear  my  testimony  to  the  value  of  the  present  work  to 
judges  and  the  legal  profession  generally.  The  chapter 
which  discusses  the  subject  of  the  change  in  the  varia- 
tion cf  the  magnetic  needle,  is  particularly  important; 
since  ancient  boundaries,  run  from  descriptions  in  old 
deeds,  cannot  be  correctly  traced  on  the  ground  with- 
out a  knowledge  of  this  variation.  This  portion  of  the 
work  is  of  peculiar  interest  to  me,  for  the  case  alluded 
to  on  pages  20S,  209,  was  one  tried  before  me  when  sit- 
ting in  the  Supreme  Court  Finding,  at  that  time,  the 
insufficiency  of  ordinary  aids,  I  applied  to  Prof.  Gilles- 
pie; and,  through  his  kindness  and  the  transparent 
manner  in  which  the  subject  was  set  before  me,  was 
enabled  at  once  to  come  to  a  correct  decision.  My  ex- 
perience in  this  case,  among  others,  has  impressed  upon 
me  the  importance  of  a  clear  understanding  of  at  least 
this  branch  of  surveying.  I  would,  therefore,  recom- 
mend Prof.  Gillespie's  work  to  a  place  in  the  library  of 
every  good  lawyer." 

From  Pbof.  E.  S.  Snell,  Amherst  College. 
"  Please  accept  my  thanks  for  the  copy  lately  re- 
ceived of  Prof  Gillespie's  Surveying.  I  very  much 
admire  its  systematic  character,  its  completeness  and 
fullness,  and  its  adaptedness  in  all  respects  to  the  wants 
of  the  teacher,  the  pupil,  and  the  practical  surveyor. 
I  have  seen  no  work  which  can  at  all  be  brought  into 
comparison  with  it." 

From  Pbof.  Aug.  TT.  Smith,  Wesleyan  University. 
"On  examination,  I  find  it  the  most  full  and  com- 
plete of  any  work  on  Practical  Surveying  with  which  I 
am  acquainted.  It  furnishes  information,  minute  and 
specific,  on  all  points  which  are  likely  to  occur  in  prac- 
tice. ...  I  know  of  no  better  work,  or  one  better 
adapted  to  the  wants  of  those  who  have  not  the  aid  of 
the  living  teacher." 


From  Norton's  Literary  Gazette. 
"This  is  an  unusually  excellent  book  of  Prof.  Gille* 
pie"s,  most  invaluable  to  the  actual  practitioner,  and  so 
comprehensive  and  yet  simple  in  its  classification  and 
details  that  the  amateur  or  the  student  may  easily  mas- 
ter it.  A  prominent  feature  in  the  book  is  the  beauty 
of  its  arrangement  under  a  few  perfectly  and  cleariy 
distinct  heads,  within  the  divisions  of  which  all  the 
materials  are  brought  in  a  lucid  manner.  .  .  .  The 
various  methods  of  avoiding  obstacles,  and  the  careful 
attention  to  minutiae,  mark  how  practically  the  profes- 
sor has  prepared  his  work.  .  .  .  The  great  amount  of 
practical  knowledge  displayed  in  this  volume,  and  tho 
simplicity  and  originality  of  its  methods,  will  render 
this  work  an  important  text-book  in  our  seminaries 
and  a  valuable  guide  to  the  young  engineer. ' 

From  the  Presbyterian. 
To  the  professional  surveyor,  and  to  landed  proprt 
etors,  this  volume  will  prove  a  treasure.  The  treatise 
is  exhaustive  of  its  subject  Every  instrument  is  de- 
scribed, every  obstacle  foreseen  and  provided  for;  the 
various  methods,  which  experience  has  approved,  fully 
set  forth;  rules  and  practice  in  working,  simplified; 
diagrams  numerous,  and  at  once  obvious ;  and,  in  short 
the  whole  theory  and  practice  of  surveying  so  lucidly 
developed,  that  with  little  previous  acquirement  and 
proper  attention,  any  one,  with  this  book  as  a  guide, 
may  soon  qualify  himself  for  this  most  useful  and  in- 
teresting occupation  of  land  surveying.  The  typogra- 
phy and'general  appearance  of  the  volume  are  all  that 
could  be  desired." 

From  the  American  Railway  Times. 
"Prof.  Gillespie  is  well  known  to  the  engineering 
profession  for  his  valuable  work  on'Koad  Making,' 
and  for  the  zeal,  intelligence,  energy,  and  success  with 
which  he  has  devoted  himself  to  the  advancement  of 
science.  .  .  .  We  shall  not  hesitate  in  recommending 
the  volume  to  the  commendation  of  all  who  are  in 
quest  of  information  upon  this  most  important  matter 
of  surveying."

12mo.  500  pages.  Price  $1.50. 
An  Abridgment  of  the  above.  12mo.  237  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

Marshall's  "Oratory"  presents  superior  claims  to  the  attention  of  teachers  of  elocution, 
by  reason  of  the  choice  character  and  great  number  of  its  selections,  their  novelty,  variety, 
and  peculiar  adaptation  to  school  purposes.  It  has  been  compiled  expressly  to  meet  the 
wants  of  common  schools  and  academies,  containing  pieces  of  every  style  and  length,  and 
widely  differing  in  difliculty  of  execution,  so  that  the  beginner  and  the  proficient  in  the 
art  may  alike  suit  themselves  from  its  pages.  There  is  a  freshness  about  the  extracts  that 
strikingly  distinguishes  them  from  the  stereotyped  selections  in  the  old  text-books.  They 
consist  of  choice  specimens  of  prose  and  poetry  from  the  most  distinguished  American  and 
English  authors — from  such  master-minds  as  Webster,  Clay,  Calhoun,  Everett,  Prentiss,  Wirt. 
Randolph,  Channing,  Longfellow,  Bryant,  Hood,  Brougham,  Scott,  Byron,  and  Shakspeare. 

In  no  other  work  is  so  perfect  a  picture  of  American  eloquence  presented,  the  statesmen 
of  all  sections  of  the  Union  being  fully  represented.  The  studei  t  who  desires  to  form  a 
just  estimate  of  his  country's  orators,  and  to  improve  himself  by  the  use  of  the  admirable 
irodels  which  they  have  left,  will  find  all  that  he  can  desire  in  this  volume. 

From  the  Evangelist.  I  universal,  at  least  among  modern  writers  in  prose,  verse, 

"A  large  and  admirable  selection  of  pieces  for  dccla-  and  drama.  The  editor  is  a  practical  teacher  of  elocu- 
»»tion,  copious  and  varied,  and  well  chosen  with  ref-  i  tion,  and  evidently  has  a  wide  acquaintance  with  litera- 
a  ence  to  speaking.   The  range  of  selection  is  almost  |  ture.   It  is  as  good  a  work  of  the  kind  as  we  ever  saw." 


Introduction  to  the  Study  of  Art.* 

BY  M.  A.  DWIGHT, 

AUTHOR  OF  "GRECIAN  AND  ROMAN  MYTHOLOGY." 

12mo.  278  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

This  work  is  the  result  of  practical  teaching,  pursued  for  many  years.  It  is  nothing 
more  than  it  purports  to  be — an  introduction,  intended  to  give  some  idea  of  the  require- 
ments of  art,  and  to  aid  the  beginner  in  its  study.  The  rules  presented  are  deduced  from 
the  works  of  the  best  masters,  and  are  founded  exclusively  on  nature.  The  young  artist, 
too  generally  left  to  the  vague  and  ill-directed  promptings  of  his  own  genius,  will  find  in 
this  volume  a  safe  and  faithful  guide,  with  whose  aid  he  can  avoid  the  rocks  on  which 
others  have  split,  and  make  the  most  satisfactory  progress  in  his  studies.  There  is  no  mis- 
understanding the  teachings  of  the  author.  Their  clearness  and  direct  practical  bearing 
enhance  their  value,  and  will  recommend  them  not  only  to  schools  of  design,  but  to  al3 
Institutions  in  which  Drawing  is  taught.

as  will  enable  those  desirous  of  improving,  to  progress  without  other  instruction  or  assistance  than 
their  own  observations  and  reflections  will  naturally  suggest.

Appletons'   Arithmetical  Series. 

BY  Cjc.  P.  QUACKENBOS,  LL.D., 

UPON  THE  BASIS  OP  THE  WORKS  OP 

GEORGE  R .  PERKINS,  LL.D. 

This  New  Series  of  Arithmetics  embraces  five  text-books,  which  are  as  nearly  perfect,  iu  all 
respects,  as  care,  thought,  and  labor  could  make  them.  All  the  extended  experience  of  the 
author  and  his  happy  faculty  of  imparting  instruction  to  the  young,  aided  by  suggestions  from 
our  best  teachers,  have  been  brought  to  bear,  to  produce  a  clear,  comprehensive,  philosophi- 
cal, and  practical  system. 

Their  distinguishing  features,  as  a  whole,  and  the  points  on  which  their  claims  to  superi- 
arity  rest,  are  as  follows : 

I.  They  are  well  graded.  There  is  no  overlapping,  no  unnecessary  repetition,  hut  a  continuons  ad- 
vancement—a  gradual  progression  from  step  to  step.  The  teacher  is  not  obliged  to  look  up  a 
ivork  by  some  other  author  to  fill  up  an  annoying  gap.  This  is  an  important  feature,  which  most  Arith- 
metical series  lack. 

II.  Good  judgment  is  shown  in  apportioning  the  space.  Prominence  is  given  to  those  branches  of 
Commercial  Arithmetic  which  are  likely  to  be  needed  in  after-life— the  making  out  of  Bills  and  Ac- 
counts of  Sales,  Partial  Payments.  Profit  and  Loss,  etc. 

III.  They  are  consistent  with  each  other.  The  definitions  and  rules  in  the  different  numbers  areas 
far  as  practicable,  in  the  same  words,  and  similar  modes  of  reasoning  are  employed  throughout.  This 
bTeatly  facilitates  the  pupil's  comprehension  and  acquisition  of  the  subject. 

TV.  They  are  philoso])hically  a/ranged.  The  easier  parts  take  precedence  of  the  more  difficult ;  noth- 
ing is  anticipated,  to  the  bewilderment  of  the  pupil. 

V.  The  rules  are  brief  and  analyses  well  condensed.  This  is  a  point  of  no  little  moment,  the  labor  of 
both  teacher  and  learner  being  greatly  increased  by  a  multiplicity  of  words,  and  frequently  the  entire 
meaning  lost  in  the  mass  of  matter,  when  a  terse  form  of  expression  would  make  it  perfectly  clear. 

VL.  These  books  teach  the  metliods  actually  used  by  business  men.  They  make  it  a  specialty  to  present 
business  terms  and  operations,  an  insight  being  thus  afforded  into  commercial  life  which  will  be  diffi- 
cult to  obtain  from  any  other  text-books. 

VII.  The  examples  are  more  varied  and  more  numerous  than  in  other  books  of  like  grade.  The  space 
saved  by  stating  rules  and  principles  in  a  condensed  form  is  thus  used  to  the  greatest  practical  advan- 
tage ;  and,  to  accustom  the  pupil  to  every  possible  application,  the  language  of  the  examples  is  varied 
as  much  as  possible. 

YlH.  They  are  inductive.  The  rules  are  approached  by  preliminary  examples  showing  the  reason 
of  the  process  in  a  way  to  impress  it  permanently  on  the  mind.  This  wonderfully  facilitates  the  mem- 
orizing of  the  rules.   General  laws  are  deduced  from  individual  cases. 

IX.  A  principle  once  taught  is  not  allowed  to  be  forgotten.  In  one  form  or  another  it  is  made  the  sub- 
ject of  constant  review,  and  is  so  interwoven  in  the  examples  successively  presented  that  it  cannot 
escape  the  mind. 

X.  The  examples  are  so  constmcted  as  to  require  thought  on  the  part  of  the  pupil.  Suggestive  questions 
are  often  introduced  after  examples  involving  some  new  points,  leading  the  thoughts  of  the  pupil  in 
the  right  direction,  and  encouraging  him  to  think  out  the  matter  for  himself,  without  applying  to  his 
teacher  for  aid.   This  is  an  excellent  feature,  and  original  with  its  author. 

XI.  The  examples  do  not  involve  tedious  operations— particularly  those  given  first  under  the  rules.  A 
principle  may  be  illustrated  with  simple  numbers,  as  well  as  with  combinations  of  a  dozen  figures, 
while,  by  the  former,  the  pupil  is  saved  from  discouragement  and  a  waste  of  time  and  labor. 

XII.  Finally,  they  teach  the  shortest,  simplest,  and  most  easy  to  be  remembered  modes  of  perform- 
ing the  different  operations  of  which  they  treat.  As  such  we  commend  them  to  the  educators  of  the 
country,  fully  believing  that  they  must  be  satisfactory  to  every  teacher  who  desires  to  give  his  pupils  a 
thorough,  and  at  the  same  time  a  practical  knowledge  of  this  subject. 

The  separate  volumes  composing  this  series  possess  individual  peculiarities  and  excellences,  a 
few  of  which  we  mention :

I.    Primary  Arithmetic. 

16mo.  Pages  108.  Price,  30  cents. 

This  little  book,  presupposing  no  knowledge  of  numbers,  calls  in  the  aid  of  the  eye  in  ob- 
ject-lessons to  impress  their  relative  value  on  the  mind ;  and,  following  the  only  true  method, 
that  of  uniting  written  with  mental  Arithmetic,  from  the  very  outset  carries  the  beginner  as  far 
as  Compound  Numbers.  It  clearly  unfolds  the  principles  of  Numeration,  from  a  want  of 
proper  acquaintance  with  which,  even  advanced  pupils  too  often  suffer.  It  develops  the  four 
fundamental  rules  in  a  natural  and  interesting  way  ;  first  giving  questions  on  the  illustrations 
(which  are  numerous  and  very  beautiful)  and  then  embodying  the  results  attained  in  tables, 
instead  of  presenting  the  tables  to  be  memorized  without  any  preliminary  preparation  for  them. 

It  gives  the  important  Tables  of  money,  weight,  measure,  etc.,  with  exercises  under  each 
to  familiarize  the  pupil  with  them. 

Its  models  of  analysis  are  brief  and  clear,  such  as  the  youngest  learner  can  follow.  The 
charm  of  this  book  is  the  interest  with  which  it  invests  the  subject — the  pupil,  understanding 
every  thing  as  he  advances,  progresses  rapidly  and  with  positive  delight. 

II.   Elementary  Arithmetic. 

12mo.  Pages  144.  Price,  50  cents. 

From  the  Primary  the  pupil  proceeds  to  the  Elementary,  and  by  gradual  and  easy  steps 
the  way  is  prepared  for  the  Practical.  This  book  does  not  involve  a  waste  of  time  by  occu- 
pying the  same  ground  as  the  Practical,  as  is  the  case  with  books  of  this  grade  belonging  to 
most  series,  but  is.  so  constructed  as  to  make  the  step  from  the  Primary  to  the  Practical  easy, 
and  the  latter  readily  understood. 

The  Tables  are  not  presented  in  a  body,  to  be  confounded  together  by  the  pupil,  but  ap- 
propriate exercises,  mental  and  written,  are  given  under  each,  to  fix  it  in  the  mind  of  the 
pupil. 

All  the  examples  or  problems  are  strictly  practical,  made  up  as  they  are  of  important  sta- 
tistics and  valuable  facts  in  History  and  Philosophy,  which  are  thus  unconsciously  learned  in 
acquiring  a  knowledge  of  Arithmetic. 

III.   Practical  Arithmetic. 

12mo.  Pages  336.  Price,  $1.00. 

This  book  is  strictly  what  its  name  indicates,  a  Practical  Arithmetic.  The  style,  as  in  the 
other  books,  is  perspicuous.  No  undefined  technical  terms  are  used.  There  is  no  ambiguity 
in  the  wording  of  the  examples,  to  perplex  the  pupil  and  make  him  trouble  his  teacher  for  ex- 
planations. The  examples,  are  3,250  in  number,  affording  the  pupil  excellent  faculties  for 
practice,  and  are  remarkable  for  their  variety  and  practical  bearing. 

It  is  up  to  the  times,  and  adapted  to  our  present  financial  condition.  The  prices  given  are 
those  of  to-day.  The  difference  between  Gold  and  Currency  is  recognized  and  taught ;  the 
rates  of  duties  agree  with  the  present  tariff;  a  full  description  of  the  different  classes  of  TJ.  S. 
Securities  is  given,  with  examples  to  show  the  comparative  results  of  investments  in  them. 
These  are  matters  that  children  as  well  as  adults  ought  to  know  and  understand.

D.  APPLET  ON  &  CO:S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


All  the  branches  of  Mercantile  Arithmetic  have  received  special  attention — the  making 
out  of  bills,  the  casting  of  interest,  partial  payments,  operations  in  profit  and  loss,  averaging 
accounts,  equation  of  payments,  etc.  Much  collateral  information  on  business  subjects  has 
been  embodied. 

The  metric  system,  with  the  nomenclature  as  given  in  the  report  of  the  Committee  of  the 
Ilouse  of  Representatives  on  Coinage,  Weights,  and  Measures,  and  therefore  the  only  authori- 
tative form  and  nomenclature  yet  presented  to  the  country,  and  which  it  is  likely  to  bear,  when 
it  shall  come  into  general  use,  is  thoroughly  taught.  By  tables  of  Equivalents  and  an  ap- 
plication of  the  principles  of  analysis  previously  taught,  the  pupil  is  enabled  to  make  changes 
from  the  old  system  to  the  new,  and  from  the  new  system  to  the  old,  in  the  simplest  manner 
possible.    The  confusing  rules  of  other  authors  thus  become  unnecessary. 

All  of  these  new  applications  are  to  be  found  in  their  proper  places  throughout  the  book, 
and  are  not  introduced  by  the  addition  of  a  few  pages  to  an  old  edition.  The  entire  book  is 
new,  and  every  line  has  been  carefully  weighed  with  a  view  of  giving  the  learner  what  would 
be  the  most  useful,  and  best  prepare  him  for  the  duties  of  active  life,  either  in  or  out  of  the 
counting-room. 


This  volume  will  be  found  the  most  effective  and  valuable  work  yet  published  on  this  im- 
portant subject.  It  has  two  principal  objects  in  view — to  discipline  the  mind,  and  to  impart 
quickness  and  accuracy  in  mental  calculations ;  and  it  aims  to  secure  these  ends  in  the  pleas- 
antest  way  to  both  teacher  and  learner.  Among  its  more  important  features  are  the  following  : 

1.  The  gradual  and  inductive  mode  of  unfolding  the  subject,  with  the  aid  of  rigid  but  clear 
analyses  expressed  as  briefly  as  possible. 

2.  The  introduction  vf  necessary  definitions,  too  often  excluded  from  Mental  Arithmetics. 

3.  The  great  variety  and  practical  bearing  of  the  Examples  ;  the  careful  avoidance  of  ob- 
scurity in  wording  them,  and  the  exclusion  of  all  questions  involving  impossibilities  or  ab- 
surdities. 

4.  The  presentation  of  the  Metric  System,  hitherto  confined  mainly  to  text-books  on  writ- 
ten Arithmetic. 

5.  The  teaching  of  short  methods  and  processes  actually  used  in  the  counting-room. 

6.  The  extension  of  mental  calculations  to  more  of  the  operations  of  every-day  business 
life  than  has  hitherto  been  attempted  ;  such  as  equation  of  payments,  stock-jobbing,  U.  S. 
securities,  taxes,  duties,  etc.  The  value  of  this  last  feature,  it  is  believed,  can  hardly  fail  to 
be  appreciated  in  this  practical  age. 


This  work  will  contain  all  that  is  required  for  a  thorough  mastery  of  the  theory  and  prac- 
tice of  Arithmetic.  It  will  be  especially  full  and  valuable  in  the  higher  branches  of  mercantile 
Arithmetic.    In  short,  it  will  be  really  what  its  name  imports.

D.  APPLET  ON  &  COSS  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


From  J.  W.  Buxklet,  Svperintendent  of  Schools  in 
the  City  of  Brooklyn. 

"  After  a  careful  and  deliberate  examination  of 
the  various  Arithmetics  by  the  Text-Book  Com- 
mittee of  the  Brooklyn  Board,  more  than  a  year 
ago,  Quackenbos's  Series  was  recommended  by 
them  in  the  strongest  terms,  and  on  their  recom- 
mendation was  adopted  for  the  Common  Schools 
of  this  city.  It  has  been  in  exclusive  use  in  all  our 
schools  for  the  last  twelve  months,  and  with  the 
most  gratifying  results.  Our  teachers  find  it  well 
graded,  admirably  arranged,  peculiarly  adapted  to 
the  class-room,  and  calculated  to  awaken  thought 
and  insure  thorough  mental  discipline  to  the 
learner. 

"With  all  that  is  good  in  other  series,  Quack- 
enbos's Arithmetics  combine  several  original  and 
highly  valuable  features  which  will  at  once  com- 
mend themselves  to  practical  educators.  Their 
methods  are  6imple,  natural,  and  excellent ;  their 
rules  and  definitions,  brief  and  clear ;  their  analy- 
ses, thorough  and  philosophical,  without  being 
tedious;  their  examples,  numerous  and  varied. 
They  have  a  more  practical  bearing  than  any  other 
works  on  the  subject,  being  in  every  respect  up  to 
the  times,  treating  the  important  branches  of  Mer- 
cantile Arithmetic  in  the  most  exhaustive  manner, 
and  giving  the  pupil  a  preparation  for  the  business 
of  life  which  we  have  elsewhere  sought  in  vain. 

"They  meet  our  wants  so  entirely,  that  we 
should  be  very  reluctant  to  change  them  for  any  other 
Series." 

From  C.  E.  Wdllard,  Principal  of  Public  School, 
Hartford,  Conn. 

"I  have  examined  Quackenbos's  Arithmetics, 
and  can  only  express  my  unqualified  approval  of 
their  plan  and  its  execution.  I  find  in  them  just 
what  I  haVe  been  looking  for.  As  regards  the  Prac- 
tical, I  am  so  much  pleased  with  the  whole  book 
that  it  is  difficult  to  select  any  prominent  feature 
where  all  are  so  excellent,  but  I  can  mention  two 
or  three.  First,  the  method  of  explaining  every 
process  clearly  and  concisely,  and  then  embodying 
the  explanation  in  a  rule  which  is  equally  free  from 
ambiguity  and  redundancy.  Secondly,  the  admir- 
able arrangement  of  topics,  and  the  bearing  which 
each  has  upon  those  that  follow.  Thirdly,  the  am- 
ple preparation  which  is  made  for  the  study  of 
Fractions  before  they  are  introduced,  and  the  hap- 
py manner  of  treating  them.  lean  think  of  nothing 
which  Ivjould  add  to  or  take  away  from  the  book." 


David  Copeland,  President  Hillsboro  (Ohio)  Fe- 
male College. 
"  I  consider  Quackenbos's  Practical  Arithmetic 
superior  to  any  similar  work  published  in  this 
country.  The  subjects  are  all  treated  in  a  superior 
manner.'" 

From  Chester  Holcombe,  Principal  Public  School 
No.  11,  Brooklyn. 

"  It  affords  me  much  pleasure  to  be  able  to  com- 
mend most  heartily  Quackenbos's  series  of  Arith- 
metics. They  have  been  in  use,  among  the  twelve 
hundred  scholars  of  whom  I  am  in  charge,  for  the 
past  three  months,  and  thus  I  have  had  ample  op- 
portunity to  judge  of  their  merits  ;  and  I  am  con- 
fident there  is  in  no  other  series  of  text-books  on  that 
subject  an  equal  degree  of  excellence. 

"They  are  concise  in  definition,  explanation, 
and  rule  ;  are  up  to  the  times  in  Commercial  Arith- 
metic (a  thing  which  can  be  said  of  no  other  series), 
and  possess  ample  means  for  making  the  pupil 
familiar  with  not  only  the  science  but  the  art  of 
this  most  important  branch  of  Mathematics. 

"  In  the  Primary  I  have  found  an  unequalled 
manual  for  object-teaching  and  am  specially  well 
pleased  too  with  the  prominence  given  to  the 
Metric  System  of  Weights  and  Measures  in  the 
higher  editions." 

Sister  M.  Alfred,  Superioress  of  St.  Francis's 
School,  Joliet,  111. 

"We  have  critically  examined  Quackenbos's 
Primary  and  Elementary  Arithmetics,  and  pro- 
nounce them  the  most  excellent  works  of  the  kind. 
We  are  now  using  them  with  entire  satisfaction  to 
both  ourselves  and  our  pupils.  No  other  books 
than  Quackenbos's  shall  henceforth  be  used  in  our 
schools." 

Santord  W.  Billings,  Principal  Stoughtonham 
Institute,  Sharon,  Mass. 

"I  have  used  Quackenbos's  Practical  Arith- 
metic in  my  school  for  several  terms  past.  It  is 
just  what  it  claims  to  he— practical.  Free  from 
verbosity  and  superfluity,  principles  are  enunci- 
ated with  clearness,  and  the  examples  for  practice 
are  numerous  and  valuable.  The  Committee  have 
also  introduced  the  series  into  the  public  schools, 
and  universal  satisfaction  is  the  verdict  rendered. 
As  Acting  Superintendent  of  Public  Schools  and  as 
teacher,  I  regard  this  Series  as  superior  to  any 
thing  I  have  ever  before  used." 


Although  but  a  short  time  before  the  American  public,  these  Arithmetics  have  met  with 
most  gratifying  success.  They  are  in  use  in  a  large  number  of  the  public  schools  of  the 
country,  among  which  we  may  mention  New  York,  Brooklyn,  Jersey  City,  Syracuse,  Toledo, 
Oswego,  Elmira,  and  Albany.

Tliis  is  an  eminently  clear  and  practical  text-book,  embracing  a  variety  of  important  sub- 
jects, which  have  a  common  connection,  and  mutually  illustrate  each  other ;  but  which  the 
pupil  has  heretofore  been  obliged  to  leave  unlearned,  or  to  search  for  among  a  number  of 
different  volumes.  Claiming  to  give  a  comprehensive  view  of  our  language  in  all  its  relations, 
this  "  Advanced  Course "  views  it  as  a  whole,  no  less  than  with  reference  to  the  individual 
words  composing  it;  shows  how  it  compares  with  other  tongues,  modern  and  ancient;  points 
out  its  beauties ;  indicates  how  they  may  best  be  made  available ;  and,  in  a  word,  teaches  the 
6tudent  the  most  philosophical  method  of  digesting  his  thoughts,  as  well  as  the  most  effective 
mode  of  expressing  them. 

It  teaches  Rhetoric  not  merely  theoretically,  like  the  old  text-books,  but  practically,  illus- 
hiiiing  every  point  with  Exercises  to  be  prepared  by  the  student.

12mo.  182  pages.  Price  90  cents. 

This  work  is  intended  for  beginners  in  Grammar  and  Composition,  and  should  be  placed  in 
their  hands  at  whatever  age  it  may  be  deemed  best  for  them  to  commence  these  branches — say 
from  nine  to  twelve  years.  A  series  of  simple  lessons  on  the  inductive  system,  accompanied 
with  appropriate  exercises,  familiarizes  the  pupil  with  the  different  parts  of  speech,  teaches  him 
to  punctuate  intelligently,  pleasantly  initiates  him  into  the  synthesis  of  our  language,  enables 
iim  to  compose  sentences  of  his  own  correctly  and  elegantly,  and  finally  trains  him  thoroughly 
n  the  several  departments  of  prose  composition — letters,  descriptions,  narrations,  biographical 
sketches,  essays,  and  argumentative  discourses. 

The  above  works  have  supplanted  almost  all  others  on  the  same  subject.  They  are  found 
lo  work  to  admiration  in  the  school-room,  and  to  invest  with  lively  interest  a  branch  which  is 
usually  regarded  as  dry  and  repulsive. 

Hon.  A.  Constantine  Barry,  State  Superin- 
tendent of  the  common  schools  of  Wisconsin, 
in  his  last  Annual  Report  to  the  Legislature  of 
that  State,  uses  the  following  strong  language 
jx.  relation  to  Mr.  Quackenbos's  system  of 
teaching  Composition : 


"  A  thorough  knowledge  of  his  own  language  is  es- 
sential to  every  scholar.  The  true  artificer  must  be 
able  not  only  to  take  to  pieces  the  work  of  others,  but 
also  to  produce  work  of  his  own ;  aud  so  the  true 
scholar  must  know  not  only  how  to  analyze  or  pa^se  a 
given  sentence,  but  how  to  put  together  or  compose 
sentences  for  himself.   To  the  perfect  mastery  of  tha

language,  therefore,  a  course  of  Composition  is  as  es- 
sential as  a  course  of  Grammar.  I  do  not  mean  the 
mere  production  of  essays  on  given  subjects,  which 
are  generally  as  unprofitable  as  they  are  vexatious,  and 
which  without  previous  instruction  it  is  unreasonable 
to  expect  any  but  natural  geniuses  to  produce.  I 
mean  a  regular  system,  which  teaches  the  proper 
mode  of  producing  such  essays,  points  out  the  errors 
to  be  avoided,  and  makes  an  attractive  as  well  as  im- 
proving exercise  of  what  is  otherwise  proverbially 
repulsive.  Such  a  system  is  found  in  Quackenbos's 
'  First  Lessons  in  Composition 1  and  1  Advanced 
Course  of  Composition  and  Rhetoric.'' 

"  It  would  be  difficult  to  point  out  in  these  admi- 
rable books  any  thing  that  we  would  desire  to  have 
altered ;  they  meet  our  wants  in  every  respect,  mak- 
ing no  unreasonable  draft  on  the  time  or  patience  of 
the  teacher,  and  leaving  him  no  excuse  for  neglect- 
ing to  make  Composition  a  regular  study,  even  with 
his  younger  classes.  It  is  unnecessary  to  compare 
these  books  with  others  on  the  subject,  for  there  are 
none  that  approqch  them  in  clearness,  comprehen- 
siveness, excellence  of  arrangement,  and,  above  all,  in 
direct  practical  bearing.  They  stand  alone  in  unfold- 
ing the  principles  of  Composition  in  connection  with 
those  of  Grammar,  and  furnish  the  best  system  of 
Punctuation  with  which  we  have  met.  Affording  an 
insight  into  the  mechanism  of  language,  they  will 
hardly  fail  to  impart  facility  and  grace  of  expression, 
and  to  inspire  a  love  for  the  beauties  of  literature." 

From  Prof.  JonN  N.  Pratt,  of  the  University  of 
Alabama. 

"  I  have  been  using  Quackenbos  on  Composition 
and  Rhetoric  in  the  instruction  of  my  classes  in  the 
University,  and  I  am  persuaded  of  its  great  excel- 
lence. The  First  Lessons  in  Composition,  by  the 
same  author,  I  regard  as  very  useful  for  beginners. 
Of  these  two  books  I  can  speak  with  the  greatest 
confidence,  and  I  do  most  heartily  recommend  them 
to  all  with  whom  my  opinion  may  have  any  weight." 

From  ALPnEtrs  A.  Keex,  A.M.,  Principal  of 
Pomeroy  Academy. 
"  I  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  it  is  the  book 
for  colleges  and  academies." 

From  Caleb  S.  Hallowell,  Principal  of  the  High 
School.  Alexandria.  Va. 

• 

"  "We  have  for  some  years  been  using  for  our 
primary  classes  the  small  work  on  English  Composi- 
tion by  Quackenbos,  and  have  recently  introduced 
the  United  States  History  and  Rhetoric  (the  latter  in 
place  of  Blair's  large  work),  with  both  of  which  we 
are  well  pleased." 

From  Geo.  E.  Noff,  A.  M.,  Pres.  ofSoule  Female 
Coll.,  Murfreesboro,  Tenn. 
"  Quackenbos's   '  First  Lessons  in  Composition,' 
and  1  Advanced  Course  of  Composition  and  Rhetoric,' 


are  the  best  school-books  on  these  subjects  that  I  have 
seen;  I  would  not  do  without  them  for  any  reason- 
able consideration." 

From  C.  E.  Brame,  Principal  Female  Academy, 
Greensboro,  Ala. 
"  The  Rhetoric  and  Composition  can  not  be  too 
highly  commended.  It  is  regarded  by  all  my  teachers 
as  better  suited  to  the  wants  of  a  female  school  than 
any  other  work  yet  published." 

From  Thomas  Lacy,  Principal  of  Patuxent 
Academy,  lid. 
"  It  is  an  excellent  book,  delightfully  written— just 
the  thing  for  advanced  students." 

From  C.  W.  Callender,  Pres.  Tenn.  Female 
College,  Franklin,  Tenn. 
"Quackenbos's  Rhetoric  has  no  superior.   In  its 
arrangement  and  discussion  of  subjects,  it  meets  the 
wants  of  the  pupil  and  the  wishes  of  the  teacher.  My 
classes  study  it  with  pleasure  and  profit." 

From  Rev.  J.  O.  CnuRcrr,  D.D.,  Pres.  Tenn.  Confer- 
ence  Fern.  College,  Columbia,  Tenn. 
"  Quackenbos's  "Works  on  Composition  and  Rhet- 
oric I  prefer  to  any  other  texts  in  that  department." 

From  Geo.  S.  Savage,  Pres.  of  Jfillersburg  Female 
College,  Millersburg,  Ky. 
u  Mr.  Quackenbos  certainly  possesses  rare  quali- 
fications as  an  author  of  school-books.  His  United 
States  History,  in  my  judgment,  h as  no  equal,  and 
his  '  Composition  and  Rhetoric' is  really  indispen- 
sable. The  best  recommendation  I  can  give  them 
all,  is  to  say  they  are  text-books  in  our  Female 
College." 

From  Rev.  R.  II.  Rivers,  D.D.,  Pres.  of  Wesleyan 
University,  Florence,  Ala. 
"  As  elementary  works,  I  cordially  approve  of  all 
the  text-books  edited  by  G.  P.  Quackenbos." 

From  Rev.  A.  L.  Hamilton,  D.D.,  Pres.  of  Clark-s- 
mile Fern.  Academy,  Clarksville,  Tenn. 

"After  a  careful  examination  of  Quackenbos's 
series  of  school-books,  I  consider  it  superior  to  all 
others  upon  the  same  subject." 

From  the  Rome  Journal. 
"  A  handsome  text-book,  prepared  by  a  competent 
teacher,  an  indefatigable  and  accomplished  scholar, 
and  an  exceedingly  pains-taking  compiler." 

From  the  Southern  Literary  Messenger. 
"Professor  Quackenbos  is  well  known  as  the 
author  of  numerous  works  of  high  standing  in  the 
department  to  which  the  '  Course  of  Composition ' 
belongs.  The  present  work  is  thorough  in  its  treat- 
ment, and  excellently  arranged."

D.  APPLETON  &  CO.'S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


An   English  Grammar/ 

33y  G-.  P.  QUACKENBOS,  M. 
12mo.   288  pages.   Price  90  cents. 

Brief  and  clear  in  definition,  lucid  in  arrangement,  happy  in  illustration,  practical  in  its 
exercises,  full  in  its  explanations,  bold  and  ingenious  in  its  treatment  of  difficulties,  simple 
enough  for  the  young,  and  sufficiently  comprehensive  for  the  more  advanced,  it  is  believed 
that  it  will  meet  every  reasonable  want.  Interesting  the  pupil  from  the  outset  by  an  imme- 
diate practical  application  of  every  principle  taught,  it  enables  him  to  understand  as  well  as 
learn,  and  imparts  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  philosophy  of  our  language  with  the  least 
possible  labor.  Innovating,  but  only  where  innovation  is  necessary  to  produce  a  rational 
system,  it  makes  some  radical  reforms,  which  carry  conviction  by  their  very  simplicity  and 
truthfulness.  Special  attention  is  asked  to  its  simple  system  of  analyzing  sentence*,  unen- 
cumbered with  technical  terms,  and  requiring  no  charts,  diagrams,  or  elaborate  preparation 
on  the  teachers  part,  to  make  it  available.  Those  who  are  annoyed  by  errors,  inconsisten- 
cies, or  deficiencies  in  the  Grammars  they  are  now  using,  are  solicited  to  examine  this  new 
work,  the  production  of  one  who  has  made  this  subject  the  special  study  of  his  life. 


From  Axsoy  Smyth,  School  Commissioner  for  the 
State  of  Ohio. 

"I  have  repeatedly  taken  it  up  and  examined  test 
points  ;  and  I  have  reached  the  conclusion  that  no 
letter  work  of  the  kiivl  has  come  under  my  notice. 
In  plan  and  execution  it  meets  my  hearty  approval, 
and  I  cordially  recommend  it  to  all  who  are  engaged 
in  teaching." 

From  Erastcs  Everett,  late  Pres.  College  of  X  0. 

"The  Grammar  which  you  have  given  us  is  by 

i'ar  the  best  that  has  made  its  appearance,  as  a  text- 
>ook  for  Common  Schools  and  Academies.  You 
have  placed  the  whole  Fraternity  of  Teachers  un- 
der lasting  obligations." 

From  II.  A.  Dearborn',  A.  M.,  Princ.  Clinton  Lib- 
eral Institute,  X.  Y. 
"  Quackenbos's  English  Grammar  has  been  ex- 
amined from  beginning  to  end,  and  I  can  freely  say 
that  I  regard  it  as  superior  to  any  Grammar  yet 
published ;  indeed,  I  was  prepared  to  receive  it 
favorably  from  the  well-known  character  of  Mr. 
Quackenbos  as  an  author." 

From  P.  H.  Hctchinsox,  Supt.  of  Softools,  Wes- 
ton, Vt. 

"I  am  unbounded  in  my  admiration  of  this  book. 
It  is  par  excellence  the  Grammar  of  Grammars.'''  . 


From  Rev.  James  Gii.mocr,  Princ.  Ballston  Spa 
(X.  Y.  )  Academy. 
"It  Is  just  what  is  wanted  in  the  school-room. 
It  Is  both  plain,  practical,  and  interesting,  and  an 
improvement  over  all  others  with  which  I  am  ac- 
quainted." 

From  Eev.  Hf.nrt  Branx,  D.  D..  Pres.  Seton  71*11 
College,  &  Orange,  X.  J. 
"  I  think  it  an  excellent  book ;  not  too  large  for 
an  elementary  work,  yet  sufficiently  diffuse  for  even 
advanced  students.  The  clearness  of  its  explana- 
tions strikes  me;  and  the  exercises  on  False  Syn- 
tax are  better  arranged  and  more  instructive  than 
those  of  any  other  Grammars  that  have  fallen  under 
my  observation." 

From  Eev.  G.  R.  Moore,  Pres.  Lyons  Female  Col- 
lege, Lyons,  Ioica. 
We  like  Quackenbos's  English  Grammar  better 
than  any  heretofore  submitted  for  examination  in 
this  institution,  and  shall  be  pleased  to  introduce  it." 

From  J.  E.  Gctt.vkr,  Pres.  Otterbein  University. 
Westerville,  0. 
"Its  arrangement  is  excellent,  its  illustrations 
pertinent,  and  its  explanations  of  difficult  construc- 
tions ingenious.  Its  new  and  original  features  com- 
mend themselves  at  once  to  every  grammarian."

D.  APPLETOX  &  CO:S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


A   Natural  Philosophy:" 

EMBRACING  THE  MOST  RECENT  DISCOVERIES  IN  THE  VARIOUS  BRANCHES  OF 
PHYSICS,  AND  EXHIBITING  THE  APPLICATION  OF  SCIENTIFIC 
PRINCIPLES  LN  EVERY-DAY  LIFE. 

BY  G.  P.  QUACKENBOS,  LL.D. 

12mo.  450  pages.  335  EngTavings.  Price  $1.75. 

This  book  has  just  been  carefully  revised,  and  is  an  accurate  exponent  of  the  present  state 
of  science.    It  is  distinguished,  in  a  remarkable  degree, — 

1.  For  clearness,  fulness  of  explanation,  and  an  original  method  of  dealing  with  diffi- 
culties. 

2.  For  its  correction  of  numerous  errors  heretofore  current  in  school  Philosophies. 

3.  For  its  explanation  of  scientific  principles  as  they  appear  in  every-day  life,  and  the 
practical  application  of  these  principles  in  problems  presented  for  the  pupil's  solution. 

4.  For  its  signal  perspicuity  of  arrangement,  every  thing  being  presented  in  its  proper 
place. 

5.  For  the  interest  with  which  it  invests  the  subject.  From  the  outset  the  student  is 
fascinated,  and  filled  with  the  desire  of  fathoming  the  wonders  of  the  material  world. 

6.  For  the  embodiment  of  all  recent  discoveries.  Instead  of  relying  on  the  obsolete  au- 
thorities that  have  furnished  the  matter  for  many  of  our  popular  school-books  on  this  sub- 
ject, the  author  has  acquainted  himself  with  the  present  state  of  science,  and  thus  produced 
such  a  book  as  is  demanded  by  the  progressive  spirit  of  the  age. 

Written  by  one  of  our  most  popular  school-book  authors,  who  admirably  understands  the 
art  of  adapting  his  instructions  to  the  school-room,  this  work  is  acknowledged  by  the  best 
educators  in  the  land  to  be  the  book  on  Physical  Science.  Read  the  following  extracts 
from  letters,  which  might  be  extended  through  pages,  did  space  allow  : — 

From  Geo.  E.  Perkins,  LL.D.,  Author  of  Perkins1  |  pleased  with  the  hook.    The  author  has  corrected

"Having  just  completed  a  careful  examination  of  long  use.    The  work  has  many  excellences  which  the 

practised  eye  of  the  real  teacher  will  readily  detect." 

From  Prof.  J.  "W.  Stewart,  State  Female  College, 
Memphis,  Tenn. 

""We  are  using  your  Natural  Philosophy  in  our 
school,  and  we  find  it  superior  to  any  work  ice  have 
ever  used.  "We  have  a  class  of  forty  young  ladies, 
and  we  find  it  a  pleasure  to  teach  them  with  the  aid 
of  your  admirable  book." 

From  Geo.  A.  Chase,  Pres.  of  Brookville  College, 
Brookville,  Ind. 

"  In  my  opinion,  it  comes  more  fully  up  to  the 
standard  of  a  first-class  text-book  on  Natural  Philos- 
ophy for  High  Schools  and  Academies  than  any  other 
work  with  which  I  am  acquainted.  I  have  noticed, 
among  other  excellences,  its  thoroughness,  accuracy, 
and  its  superior  illustrations,  adapting  it,  in  a  peculiar 
manner,  to  the  use  of  schools  without  complete  sets 
of  apparatus." 


Quackenbos's  Natural  Philosophy,  I  have  no  hesita- 
tion in  saying  that,  in  my  opinion,  it  is  the  best  book 
on  this  subject  with  which  I  am  acquainted.  In  ac- 
curacy, clearness,  interest,  and  adaptation  to  the 
wants  of  schools,  it  surpasses  all  other  similar  works. 
Such  a  text-book  makes  learning  easy  and  teaching 
a  pleasure." 

From  Tayler  Lewis,  LL.D.,  Prof  of  Greek,  Union 
College,  Schenectady,  X.  Y. 
"I  am  much  pleased  with  your  book  on  Natural 
Philosophy.  It  has  that  same  clearness,  elegance, 
and  finish  that  characterize  your  other  productions. 
Especially  do  I  regard  it  as  well  adapted  to  interest 
young  minds  in  the  science  it  so  beautifully  pre- 
sents."

"The  Natural  Philosophy  of  Mr.  Quack  en  bos  has 
been  adopted  by  the  Board  of  School  Commissioners 
of  this  city,  for  use  in  all  the  Public  Schools  of  the 
county.  We  regard  it  as  far  the  best  text-book  on 
the  subject  now  in  use." 

From  Isaiah  Peckham,  Principal  of  High  School, 
Newark,  N.  J. 
"I  am  led  to  regard  the  work  as  a  model  of  what 
a  school-book  should  be.  Its  matter  is  well  chosen, 
and  its  statements  accurate ;  but  its  chief  excellences, 
as  it  appears  to  me,  are  the  admirable  clearness  and 
simplicity  of  its  style,  and  the  familiarity  of  it*  illus- 
trations. In  these  latter  respects,  none  but  a  practi- 
cal teacher  could  have  so  well  understood  or  so  hap- 
pily met  the  wants  of  students."

From  J.  W.  Bclklet,  A.  M.,  City  Superintendent 
of  Schools,  Brooklyn. 
"The  singular  excellence  of  all  Quackenbos'g

recitation-room,  it  stands  without  an  equal." 

From  J.  W.  Eubt,  President  of  Bethel  Female  Col- 
lege, Hopkinsville,  Ky. 
"It  is  admirably  adapted  to  the  use  of  schools. 
Illustrated  almost  beyond  the  necessity  of  apparatus, 
original  in  its  method  of  explanation,  and  compre- 
hending every  thing  essential  to  a  course  of  elemen-

Its  simplicity,  method,  and  system,  together  with  its 
depth  of  research  into  natural  science,  are  so  far

thor has  maintained  his  excellent  reputation  as  an 
editor  of  school-books.  The  style  of  the  composition 
is  clear  and  precise,  yet  6imple  and  attractive.  Al-

D.  APPLET  ON  &  CO.'S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


Elementary  History  of  the  U.  S.  :* 

BY  O.  P.  QUACKENBOS,  LL.D. 
Beautifully  Illustrated  with  Maps  and  Engravings.  12mo.  230  pages.  Price  75  cents. 

In  this  little  volume  the  Author  has  endeavored  to  present  the  history  of  our  country  so 
clearly  and  attractively  that  it  may  be  studied  with  profit  at  a  very  early  age.  A  perspicuous 
style,  intelligible  expressions,  a  natural  arrangement,  and  short  sentences  embodying  a  single 
fact,  will  be  found  the  chief  characteristics  of  the  work.  Truthful  anecdotes  are  interspersed 
throughout.    The  narrative  has  been  brought  down  to  the  present  Administration. 

To  please  the  eye  of  the  young,  as  well  as  awaken  thought,  numerous  engravings, 
designed  with  strict  regard  to  historic  truth,  and  executed  in  the  finest  style  of  the  art, 
have  been  introduced  to  illustrate  the  text.  The  form  of  a  continuous  narrative  has  been 
adopted,  as  preferable  on  the  whole  ;  but  questions  bringing  out  every  fact  are  presented  at 
the  end  of  each  lesson,  which  may  be  used  by  the  learner  in  preparing  himself,  and  by 
the  teacher  at  recitation. 


From  Mif.on  J.  Hazeltixe,  Principal  of  the  Clin- 
ton Institute,  N.  Y.  City. 
"  During  an  experience  of  fifteen  years  in  teaching, 
I  can  truly  say  that  I  have  never  met  an  elementary 
work  on  tne  subject,  so  judiciously  selected,  eo  pleas- 
antly arranged,  and  in  all  respects  so  completely 
adapted  to  the  progress  of  the  young  pupil  and  the 
satisfaction  of  the  teacher  in  actual  practice,  as  this. 
Some  writer  has  said,  with  equal  truth  and  perti- 
nence, that '  Mr.  Quackenbos's  proper  vocation  seems 
to  be  the  making  of  school-books.'  That  sentiment 
I  fully  endorse  ;  and  when  I  say  that  this  present 
treatise  is  a  worthy  companion  of  the  elementary 
work  on  Composition  by  the  same  author,  no  higher 
praise  can  be  proffered." 

From  C.  "W.  Smythe,  Principal  of  High  School, 
Lexington,  If.  C. 
"  Quackenbos's  Primary  History  pleases  me  better 
than  any  other  with  which  I  am  acquainted.  I  shall 
use  it  in  my  primary  classes  whenever  they  are 
ready  for  it." 


From  JosEr-n  L.  Mabshall,  Rector  of  the  Henry 
Street  Grammar  School,  2T.  Y.  City. 
"Quackenbos's  Primary  History  of  the  United 
States  is  duly  installed  as  a  text-book  in  our  elemen- 
tary department.  I  am  happy  to  state  that  I  regard 
it  as  the  best  of  its  kind,  both  as  to  manner  and  mat- 
ter. The  author  has  not  made  a  cumbrous,  tedious 
book ;  he  has  not  misrated  the  capacities  and  wants 
of  those  for  whom  it  is  intended ;  but,  with  exquisite 
judgment,  he  has  produced  the  work  in  a  style,  sim- 
ple, intelligible,  and  impressive — remarkably  adapted 
to  interest  youthful  minds.'' 

From  Edward  Coopee,  Principal  of  the  Female 
Institute,  Brownsville,  Tenn. 
"  I  am  using  all  Mr.  Quackenbos's  works  with  the 
greatest  satisfaction.  His  uniform  accuracy  and  per- 
spicuity give  him  the  pre-eminence  in  the  very 
difficult  sphere  of  making  good  text-books  for  schools. 
His  work  has  been  so  well  done  that  I  do  not  hesitate 
to  introduce  the  Primary  History  upon  the  strength 
of  his  name."

THE  ABORIGINES,  BIOGRAPHICAL  NOTICES  OK  DISTINGUISHED  MEN,  AND  NUMER-

12mo.  538  pages.  Price  $1.75. 

The  author  has  aimed  to  he  simple,  that  youth  of  lower  as. well  as  advanced  classes  may 
understand  him  ;  clear,  that  no  indistinct  or  erroneous  impressions  may  he  conveyed  ;  accu- 
rate in  the  recital  of  facts  ;  and  intereatiixj  as  regards  both  matter  and  style.  Avoiding  frag- 
mentary statements,  he  has  gone  into  detail  sufficiently  to  show  events  in  their  connections, 
convinced  that  a  fairer  idea  of  them  is  thus  imparted,  and  that  facts  otherwise  dry  may  in 
this  way  he  made  attractive  and  indelibly  impressed  on  the  mind.  He  has  tried  through- 
out to  he  fair  and  national.  He  has  neither  introduced  offensive  allusions,  nor  invidiously 
attempted  to  hias  the  minds  of  the  young  on  controverted  questions  connected  with  politics 
or  religion. 

The  accounts  of  particular  settlements,  colonies,  and  sections  are  kept  distinct,  hut  the 
order  of  events  throughout  the  whole  is,  as  far  as  possible,  preserved.  Brief  hiographies  of 
distinguished  men  add  to  the  interest  of  the  volume,  hesides  furnishing  the  pupil  models 
of  worth  and  patriotism.  The  pronunciation  of  all  difficult  and  foreign  names  is  given  in 
brackets  ;  and  appropriate  illustrations  have  been  liberally  provided.  Maps  are  as  useful 
in  history  as  in  geography,  and  plans  are  often  essential  to  the  lucid  delineation  of  military 
movements.    Both  are  here  presented  wherever  it  was  thought  they  would  be  of  service. 

In  elegance  of  style,  accuracy,  clearness,  interest  of  narrative,  richness  of  illustration, 
and  adaptation  to  public  and  private  schools  of  every  grade,  this  History  is  pronounced  by 
all  who  have  examined  it,  far  in  advance  of  every  similar  work  heretofore  published. 

From  Rev.  Charles  Reynolds,  Hector  of  Trinity  From  J.  D.  II.  Cokwine,  Principal  of  Kentucky 

Liberal  Institute. 
"  I  shall  at  once  introduce  it  as  the  best  work  of  the 
kind  on  this  important  branch  of  education.  While 
it  is  peculiarly  adapted  as  a  text-book  in  schools,  the 
general  reader  will  find  it  the  most  comprehensive 
History  of  the  country  from  the  Aboriginal  period 
down  to  the  inauguration  of  Mr.  Buchanan." 

From  Prof.  Silas  Metcalfe,  Principal  of  Ladies' 
Seminary,  Brooklyn,  N.  T. 
"Your  Ilistory  requires  nothing  but  circulation 
among  persons  of  taste  to  secure  its  introduction  uni- 
versally." 

From  Wm.  O.  Rogers,  SnpL  Public  Schools  of  ^ew 
Orleans,  First  District. 
"Our  teachers,  very  generally,  bear  testimony  to 
the  many  excellent  qualities  of  Quackenbos's  Ilistory 
of  the  United  States,  as  a  text-book  for  public  schools."' 

From  Horace  Clark,  Principal  of  the  Female 
Dept.  of  Baylor  University,  Texas. 
"  It  has  pleased  me,  which  no  school  U.  8.  History 
had  previously  done.    I  have  adopted  it  in  place  c4

Church,  Laicrence,  Kansas. 
"It  is  a  most  delightful  volume,  and,  were  I  teach- 
ing a  dozen  classes  in  United  States  History,  I  would 
use  no  other  book  but  yours." 

Resolution  unanimously  passed  at  a  Convention  of 
the  Superintendents  of  Orange  County,  Vt. 
u  Resolved,  That  we  recommend  Quackenbos's  His- 
tory of  the  United  States,  as  a  book  better  calculated 
to  create  and  promote  an  interest  in  the  important 
study  of  history  than  any  other  History  of  the  United 
States  with  which  we  are  acquainted." 

From  Prof.  H.  D.  Lathrop,  Gambier,  Ohio. 
"It  seems  to  me  admirably  adapted  to  the  purpose 
intended.  The  style  is  simple  and  attractive,  the  nar- 
rative accurate  and  sufficiently  minute,  the  illustra- 
tions appropriate  and  elegant,  and  the  typographical 
execution  all  that  could  be  desired." 

From  Rev.  Joseph  Shackelford,  Principal  of  In- 
stitute, Moulion,  Ala. 
"I  think  it  superior  to  many  that  I  have  examined 
as  a  school-book.    I  have  been  using  Wilson's,  but  I 
think  this  is  a  much  better  book  for  schools."

Elements  of  Astronomy.* 

ACCOMPANIED  WITH  NUMEROUS  ILLUSTRATIONS,  AND  ARAGO'S  CELESTIAL 
CHARTS  OF  THE  NORTHERN  AND  THE  SOUTHERN  HEMISPHERE. 

BY  J.  NORMAN  LOCKYER, 

FELLOW  OF  THE  EOTAL  ASTRONOMICAL  SOCIETY,  EDITOR  OF  "NATURE,"  ETC. 

AMERICAN  EDITION, 

Revised,  enlarged,  and  specially  adapted  to  the  wants  of  American  Schools. 
12mo.   312  pages.  Price,  $1.75. 

In  issuing  this  text-book  by  one  of  the  greatest  living  astronomers,  revised  and  adapted 
to  our  schools  by  an  eminent  American  teacher,  the  Publishers  feel  that  they  have  done  a 
service  to  the  cause  of  science  in  this  country.  Too  often,  when  scientific  knowledge  charac- 
terizes a  text-book  of  this  character,  the  style  is  heavy  and  the  mode  of  presentation  unin- 
telligible to  the  young  learner  ;  and,  on  the  other  land,  when  the  treatment  is  unobjectionable, 
there  is  sometimes  a  lack  of  scientific  knowledge.  In  this  text-book  both  these  essentials  are 
united  in  the  happiest  manner. 

The  author's  aim  throughout  the  book  has  been  to  give  a  connected  view  of  the  whole 
subject  rather  than  to  discuss  any  particular  parts  of  it,  and  to  supply  facts  and  ideas  founded 
thereon,  to  serve  as  a  basis  for  subsequent  study.  He  grasps  this  fascinating  science  in  its 
entireness,  and  reveals  the  wonderful  secrets  which  man  has  wrested  from  the  bosom  of  the 
heavens,  with  a  straightforward  clearness  of  statement  and  a  felicity  of  illustration  which 
reach  the  understanding  and  impress  the  memory.  The  arrangement  adopted  is  new.  The 
Sun's  true  place  in  the  Cosmos  is  shown,  and  the  real  movements  of  the  heavenly  bodies  are 
carefully  distinguished  from  their  apparent  movements,  which  greatly  aids  in  imparting  a 
correct  idea  of  the  celestial  sphere. 

Astronomy  has  made  great  strides  within  a  few  years  past ;  and  Lockycr,  who  has  him- 
self been  the  pioneer  in  many  important  researches,  has  incorporated  in  the  present  volume 
all  recent  discoveries.  His  book  may  therefore  be  regarded  as  accurately  reflecting  the  pres- 
ent state  of  astronomical  science.  Spectrum-analysis  and  its  remarkable  results,  the  physical 
constitution  of  the  sun  and  stars,  the  solar  spots,  nebulas,  comets,  and  meteors,  are  fully  dealt 
with  in  the  light  of  recent  developments.  The  new  and  correct  figures  obtained  for  masses, 
distances,  etc.,  based  on  the  recent  determination  of  the  solar  parallax,  are  given. 

The  mode  of  using  both  globe  and  telescope  has  been  explained ;  indeed,  one  great  aim 
has  been  to  render  the  volume  as  practical  as  possible — to  make  the  student  feel  that  he  is 
dealing  with  realities,  and  that  the  heavenly  bodies  spread  before  him  on  the  pages  of  his 
text-book  are  also  spread  out  before  him  in  the  heavens,  and  invite  his  acquaintance.  The 
fine  STAR-MAPS  OF  ARAGO,  showing  the  boundaries  of  the  constellations  and  the  princi- 
pal stars  they  contain,  are  appended  to  the  volume.  They  answer  every  purpose  of  a  large 
Celestial  Atlas — without  additional  expense — this  being  the  only  text-book,  as  far  as  the  Pub- 
lishers are  aware,  in  which  such  an  advantage  is  presented.  For  those  who  have  neither 
globe  nor  telescope,  plain  practical  directions  are  given  for  finding  the  leading  constellations 
and  the  principal  stars  visible  in  the  United  States,  at  certain  hours,  on  different  days  through- 
out the  year. 

The  illustrations  of  the  book,  some  of  which  are  from  photographs  and  drawings  by  De 
La  Rue,  Guillemin,  and  various  members  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society,  will  speak  for 
themselves.  The  text  will  by  constant  revision  be  made  to  keep  pace  with  the  progress  of 
astronomical  discovery.

A  Digest  of  English  Grammar/ 


BY  Li.  T.  OOVELL. 

12mo.  219  pages.   Price  90  cents. 

This  work  is  designed  as  a  text-book  for  the  use  of  schools  and  academies  ;  it  is  the  re- 
sult of  long  experience  of  an  eminently  successful  teacher,  and  will  be  found  to  possess 
many  peculiar  advantages. 

The  work  is  both  synthetical  and  analytical,  and  its  principles  are  strictly  practical ;  the 
different  subjects  are  carefully  separated  and  methodically  arranged,  so  that  all  difficulty  as 
to  what  belongs  to  Etymology,  Syntax,  and  Analysis,  is  entirely  removed,  and  the  latter, 
which  is  very  properly  placed  in  the  first  part  of  Syntax,  is  rendered  quite  as  simple  and 
easy  of  comprehension  as.the  most  plain  portion  of  grammar. 

One  subject  is  taken  up  at  a  time,  and,  when  fully  explained,  models  of  Analysis  are 
given,  and  examples  for  practice  follow. 

The  principles  of  the  work  are  sound  ;  the  definitions  are  direct,  short,  and  accurate. 

The  rules,  though  ample,  are  few,  plain,  and  concise  ;  and  the  language  throughout  the 
work  is  simple,  clear,  and  expressive. 

The  method  of  treating  the  Elementary  Sounds,  is  that  which  is  now  highly  approved. 

The  principles  of  Derivation,  and  of  Orthographic  Analysis,  are  brought  within  the  com 
prehension  of  the  youngest  learner. 


At  a  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Education  of 
Rochester,  held  June  13,  1S53,  the  following  reso- 
lution was  unanimously  adopted : 
"Resolved,  That  Covell's  Digest  of  English  Gram- 
mar be  substituted  for  Wells'  Grammar,  as  a  textbook 
in  the  public  schools  of  this  city,  to  take  effect  at  the 
commencement  of  the  next  school-year." 

From  forty-four  teachers  of  Public  Schools,  Pitts- 
burg, Pennsylvania. 
"The  undersigned  have  examined  Covell's  Digest  of 
English  Grammar,  and  are  of  opinion  that  in  the  just- 
ness of  its  general  views,  the  excellence  of  its  style,  the 
brevity,  accuracy,  and  perspicuity  of  its  definitions  and 
rules,  the  numerous  examples  and  illustrations,  the 
adaptation  of  its  synthetical  exercises,  the  simplicity  of 
its  method  of  analysis,  and  in  the  plan  of  its  arrange- 
ment, this  work  surpasses  any  other  Grammar  now 
before  the  public;  and  that  in  all  respects  it  is  most  ad- 
mirably adapted  to  the  use  of  schools  and  academies." 

From  all  the  tea  chers  of  Public  Schools  of  the  city 
of  Alleghany,  Pennsylvania, 

"We,  the  undersigned,  teachers  of  Alleghany  City, 
having  carefully  examined  Mr.  Covell's  Digest  of  Eng- 
lish Grammar,  and  impartially  compared  it  with  other 
Grammars  now  in  use,  are  fully  satisfied  that  while  it 
is  in  no  respect  inferior  to  others,  it  is  in  very  many 
reapects  much  superior.  While  it  possesses  all  that  is 
necessary  for  the  advanced  student,  and  much  that  is 


not  found  in  other  Grammars,  it  is  so  simplified  as  to 
adapt  it  to  the  capacity  of  the  youngest  learner.  We 
are  confident  that  much  time  and  labor  will  be  saved, 
and  greater  improvement  secured  to  our  pupils  in  tho 
study  of  this  science,  by  its  introduction  into  our 
schools;  hence  we  earnestly  recommend  to  the  boards 
of  directors  of  this  city  its  adoption  as  a  uniform  text- 
book upon  this  science,  in  the  schools  under  their 
direction." 


Extracts  from  the  Minutes  of  a  regular  meeting  of 
the  Board  of  Education  of  Troy,  May  31, 1S53. 

"  Mr.  Jones,  from  committee  on  text-books,  and 
school  librarian,  moved  that  Bullion's  English  Gram- 
mar be  stricken  from  the  list  of  text-books,  and  Covell's 
be  substituted.— Passed." 


From  Jonx  M.  Wolcott,  A.  M,  Principal  and  Supt. 
of  Ninth  Ward  School,  Pittsburg,  Pa. 

"  Covell's  Digest  of  English  Grammar  not  only  evin- 
ces the  most  unceasing  labor,  the  most  extensive  re- 
search, the  most  unrelaxing  effort,  and  the  most  devo- 
ted self-sacrificing  study  of  its  author,  but  it  is  the  most 
complete,  the  most  perfect,  and,  to  me,  the  most  satis- 
factory exposition  of  English  Grammar  that  has  come 
to  my  notice.  It  appears  to  me  that  every  youth  as- 
piring to  become  master  of  the  English  language,  from 
the  rudimental  principles  to  the  full,  round,  beautiful, 
faultless,  perfect  period,  will  make  this  volume  his 
'  vade  mecum."1 "

Portraits,  Cloth,  S3. 

Teachers  in  our  Higher  Academies  and  Seminaries  have  long  felt  the  want  of  a  History 
of  the  United  States-  adapted  to  the  acquirements  of  their  advanced  pupils,  male  and 
female.  Such  pupils  require  more  than  is  found  in  the  ordinary  school  compendsto  satisfy 
their  minds,  while  they  are  not  prepared  to  study,  with  profit,  the  more  elaborate  histories) 
extending  to  several  volumes.  A  history  of  our  country  to  interest  that  class  of  mind,  must 
be  specially  attractive  in  style;  clear  in  arrangement,  though  not  formal;  judicious  in  the 
selectiou  of  facts,  as  well  as  discriminating  in  tracing  their  direct  influences ;  dwelling  at 
length  on  the  great  salient  points  of  the  history,  that  the  pupil,  as  well  as  the  general 
reader,  may  receive  a  vivid  conception  of  the  essential  characteristics  of  the  people,  and  of 
that  wonderful  moulding,  which  has  given  to  our  institutions— educational,  religious,  and 
political — their  tone  and  spirit. 


From  Charles  Murray  Nairne,  M.A.,  Professor 
of  Literature  and  Philosophy  in  Columbia  Col- 
lege. 

"  I  have  read  with  great  pleasure  and  interest  the 
•whole  of  the  proof-sheets  submitted  to  me,  of  Fat- 
ton's  History  of  the  United  States. 

"  At  first  I  intended,  as  is  usual  in  such  cases,  to 
peruse  a  passage  here  and  there,  in  order  to  form  a 
general  opinion  of  the  work ;  but  I  found  that  the 
narrative  was  written  with  so  much  clearness,  ele- 
gance, and  vivacity,  and  interspersed  with  so  much 
animated  and  tasteful  description,  that  I  read  on 
without  note  of  time,  and  regretted  that  I  had  not 
before  me  the  whole,  instead  of  a  part  of  the  volume. 
The  work  is  intended  for  the  library,  and  is  far  supe- 
rior in  literary  merit  to  any  School  History  of  the 
United  States  that  I  have  seen ;  but  on  account  of  its 
condensation  and  portable  size,  it  would  serve  as  an 
admirable  manual  for  educational  purposes.  He 
would  be  a  stupid  scholar  indeed,  who  would  not 
study  it  as  a  delight  rather  than  a  mere  task ;  and 
besides  the  historical  knowledge  which  it  so  pleas- 
antly imparts,  it  might  be  commended  as  a  worthy 
example  of  unaffected,  perspicuous,  and  energetic 
composition." 

From  Rev.  Dr.  John  J.  Owen,  Professor  of  Latin 
and  Greek  Languages  and  Literature  in  the 
Free  Academy  of  the  City  of  New  York. 
"  I  have  examined,  with  much  attention,  the 
nistory  of  the  United  States,  by  Mr.  J.  H.  Patton, 
and  am  highly  pleased  with  the  evidence  which  it 
gives  of  extended  and  accurate  research,  and  a  strict 
adherence  to  historical  verity.    It  has  fulness  of  de- 
tail and  incident,  without  beinsr  overburdened  with 


isolated  and  comparatively  trivial  facts  and  digres- 
sions. 

"  It  groups  the  great  features  of  our  national  history 
— political,  religious,  educational — by  such  natural 
laws  of  association,  that  the  reader  passes  from  sub- 
ject to  subject,  and  from  chapter  to  chapter,  without 
feeling  himself  burdened,  or  taxed  to  remember  what 
he  has  read,  or  to  place  any  incident  in  its  proper 
position  in  the  line  of  history. 

"  The  style  is  clear,  lively,  and  vigorous,  and  the 
arrangement  of  the  chapters  and  their  length  natural 
and  judicious.  I  have  no  hesitation  in  expressing 
the  opinion,  that  this  history  is  better  adapted  to  our 
higher  schools  and  seminaries  of  learning  than  any 
which  has  yet  been  published,  and  most  cordially 
recommend  it  to  all  such  as  wish  to  put  a  clear, 
truthful,  and  well-digested  history  of  our  country 
into  the  hands  of  youth  in  a  process  of  education." 

From  S.  S.  Randall,  LL.D.,  Superintendent  of 
Public  Instruction  in  the  City  of  New  York. 
"  I  have  perused  with  great  interest  and  instruc- 
tion Patton's  valuable  '  History  of  the  United  States,' 
and  cheerfully  accord  to  it  the  highest  commenda- 
tion in  my  power,  as  a  perspicuous,  accurate,  and 
attractive  compend  of  our  national  annals.  Its  phi- 
losophy is  sound  and  well  considered,  its  facts  and 
incidents  artistically  grouped,  its  accuracy,  so  far  as 
I  know  and  believe,  indubitable ;  and  its  presenta- 
tion of  those  great  moral  and  religious  influences 
which  have  so  powerfully  moulded  our  national 
character  and  institutions,  such  as  to  enlist  our 
warmest  admiration  and  regard.  I  trust  it  may  find 
a  hearty  acceptance  and  welcome  in  all  our  higher 
institutions  of  learning,  and  in  every  publio  and 
private  library.''

Exposition 

OF  TI1E 

Grammatical  Structure  of  the  English  Language. 

BY  JOHN  MULLIGAN,  A.  M. 
Large  12mo.  574  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

This  work  is  a  complete  system  of  English  Grammar,  embracing  not  only  all  that  hai 
been  developed  by  the  later  philologists,  but  also  the  results  of  years  of  study  on  the  part 
of  its  author.  One  great  advantage  of  this  book  is  its  admirable  arrangement.  Instead  of 
proceeding  at  once  to  the  dry  details  which  are  distasteful  to  the  pupil,  Mr.  M.  commences 
by  viewing  the  sentence  as  a  whole,  analyzing  it  into  its  proper  parts,  and  exhibiting  their 
connection ;  and,  after  having  thus  parsed  the  sentence  logically,  proceeds  to  consider  the 
individual  words  which  compose  it,  in  all  their  grammatical  relations. 


From  Ret.  Dr.  James  W.  Alexander. 
,(I  thank  you  for  tho  opportunity  of  perusing 
your  work  on  tho  structure  of  tho  English  lan- 
guage. It  strikes  me  as  being  one  of  the  most  val- 
uable contributions  to  this  important  branch  of 
literature." 

From  E.  C.  Benedict,  Esq.,  President  of  the  Board 
of  Educatiori  of  the  City  of  New  York. 
"  I  have  often  thought  our  language  needed  some 
work  in  which  the  principles  of  grammatical  science, 
philosophically  considered,  were  developed  and  ap- 
plied to  influence  and  control  tho  usus  and  consue- 


ludo  of  Iloraco  and  Quintilian,  which  seem  to  me 
to  have  been  too  often  tho  principal  source  of  sole- 
cisms, irregularity  and  corruption.  In  this  point 
of  view,  I  consider  your  work  a  valuable  and  ap- 
propriate addition  to  tho  works  on  the  language." 

From  Dr.  IIorace  Webster,  President  of  the 
Free  Academy,  New  York. 
"It  is  a  work,  in  my  opinion,  of  great  merit,  and 
well  calculated  to  impart  a  thorough  and  critical 
knowledge  of  the  grammar  of  the  English  lan- 
guage. No  earnest  student  can  fail  to  profit  by  its 
Btudy." 


Dictionary  of  the  English  Language.* 

BY  ALEXANDER  REID,  A.M. 

12mo.  572  pages.  $1.25. 

This  work,  which  is  designed  for  schools,  has  been  compiled  with  direct  reference  to 
their  wants,  by  a  teacher  of  experience,  judgment,  and  scholarship.  It  contains,  in  small 
compass  and  the  most  convenient  form,  the  Pronunciation  and  Definitions  of  all  English 
words  authorized  by  good  usage ;  a  full  Vocabulary  of  Foreign  Roots  ;  an  accented  list  of 
Greek,  Latin,  and  Scripture  Proper  Names ;  and  an  Appendix,  showing  the  pronunciation 
of  nearly  three  thousand  of  the  most  important  Geographical  Names.  It  is  philosophical  in 
its  arrangement,  grouping  derivatives  under  their  primitives,  and  gives  the  root  of  every 
word  in  the  language,  thus  affording  a  clear  insight  into  comparative  philology. 

Either  as  a  work  of  reference,  or  a  text-book  for  daily  study,  this  Dictionary  will  be  found 
to  possess  important  advantages  over  all  others.  Some  of  our  best  scholars  commend  it  in 
the  strongest  terms  :  among  whom  may  be  mentioned  Rev.  Dr.  Henry,  late  of  N.  Y.  Univ. ; 
D.  M.  Reese,  formerly  Supt.  of  Schools  of  N.  Y. ;  and  the  late  Bishop  Wainwright. 
Prof.  Frost,  of  Phila.,  pronounces  the  plan  excellent.  Rev.  M.  P.  Parks,  late  Prof.  JJ.  S. 
Military  Acad,  at  "West  Point,  says :  "  I  consider  it  superior  to  any  of  the  School  Dictiona- 
ries with  which  I  am  acquainted."

The  publishers  have  now  the  pleasure  of  presenting  the  abridgments  of  Webster's  Amer- 
ican Dictionary  in  a  carefully  revised,  greatly  improved,  and,  as  nearly  as  possible,  per 
fected  form.  The  Series  is  rendered  complete,  and  made  to  include  a  book  just  suited  to 
every  purpose  for  which  an  abridgment  of  the  complete  work  can  be  desired,  by  the  intro- 
duction of  two  new  books,  viz. ,  the  Common-School  Dictionary,  intermediate  between  the 
Primary-School  and  the  High-School,  and  the  Counting-House  and  Family  Dictionary, 
a  much  more  full  and  comprehensive  abridgment  than  we  have  before  offered.  The  other 
books  in  the  Series  have  also  been  most  carefully  revised,  and  the  new  abridgments  pre- 
pared, by  and  under  the  direction  of  Prof.-C.  A.  Goodrich  and  Mr.  Wm.  G.  Webster,  with 
assistance  from  other  most  competent  sources,  no  pains  having  been  spared  to  remove  any. 
however  slight,  grounds  for  reasonable  objection  which  may  have  existed  to  the  books  in 
the  old  form,  and  to  render  them  as  nearly  perfect  as  possible,  and  yet  more  worthy  the 
high  position  they  occupy  as  the  standard  Dictionaries  of  the  English  language, — proved  to 
be  such  by  a  sale  many  times  greater  than  that  of  all  other  Dictionaries  published  in 
America  combined,  and  acknowledged  such  by  our  courts  of  justice,  as  well  as  the  people 
at  large. 

The  old  stereotype  plates,  having  been  much  worn  by  the  immense  numbers  of  books 
printed  from  them,  the  occasion  has  been  embraced  to  make  the  very  thorough  revision 
and  improvement  now  completed.  All  the  books  in  the  Series  are  now  printed,  there- 
fore, on  entirely  new  electrotype  plates,  and  are  uniform  in  definitions,  orthography, 
orthoepy,  &c. 

It  is  deemed  unnecessary  to  enlarge  upon  the  claims  of  these  well-known  standard  works. 
Literally,  thousands  of  testimonials  to  their  superiority  to  all  others  are  in  the  hands  of  the 
publishers,  from  the  most  eminent  educational  and  literary  men  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 
From  year  to  year  their  sale  is  steadily  and  rapidly  increasing.  It  is  believed  that  the 
mere  increase  in  the  sale  of  these  abridgments  the  present  year,  will  be  greater  than  th« 
entire  combined  sale  of  all  other  American  Dictionaries.

From  Daniel  "Webster. 
"  I  possess  many  Dictionaries,  and  of  most  of  the 
learned  and  cultivated  languages,  ancient  and  modern  ; 
but  I  never  feel  that  I  am  entirely  armed  and  equipped, 
In  this  respect,  without  Dr.  Webster  at  command." 

From  Rcfcs  Ciioate. 
"Messrs.  G.  &C.  Merriam— Gentlemen:  I  have  just 
bad  the  bonor  of  receiving  the  noble  volume  in  which 
you  and  the  great  lexicographer  and  the  accomplished 
reviser  unite  your  labors  to  '  bid  the  language  live.'  I 
accept  it  with  the  highest  pride  and  pleasure,  and  beg 
to  adopt,  in  its  utmost  strength  and  extent,  the  testi- 
monial of  Daniel  Webster." 

From  Joiin  C.  Spencer. 
"Unquestionably  the  very  best  Dictionary  of  our 
language  extant  Its  great  accuracy  in  the  definition 
and  derivation  of  words  gives  it  an  authority  that  no 
other  work  on  the  subject  possesses.  It  is  constantly 
cited  and  relied  on  in  our  courts  of  justice,  in  our  legis- 
lative bodies,  and  in  public  discussions,  as  entirely 
conclusive." 

From  Elihu  Burri-it. 
*  Webster's  great  Dictionary  may  be  regarded  as 
bearing  the  same  relation  to  the  English  language, 
which  Newton's  Principia  does  to  the  sublime  sci- 
ence of  natural  philosophy." 

From  Rev.  Dr.  Huntington,  of  Harvard  University. 

"  We  are  more  than  ever  impressed  with  its  great 
compass  and  value.  No  student,  as  it  appears  to  us, 
has  access  to  the  needful  resources  for  understanding 
or  using  our  native  tongue,  who  does  not  keep  this  vast 
and  rich  repository  of  philological  labor  and  learning  at 
his  side.  Its  definitions — now  almost  universally  ac- 
knowledged to  be  unrivaled  for  completeness,  accuracy, 
and  the  avoidance  of  mere  synonyms — together  with 
some  of  its  other  features,  render  it  indispensable  in 
every  library  and  at  every  writing-desk." 

From  Prof.  Phelps,  Theological  Sem'y,  Andover. 

"  His  work  fills  a  place  in  our  literature  which  is  oc- 
cupied by  no  other.  No  professional  man  can  afford 
to  dispense  with  it  if  he  aims  at  sound  scholarship  in 
his  knowledge  of  the  English  tongue." 


From  President  Hopkins,  Williams  College. 
"  There  is  no  American  scholar  who  does  not  feel 
proud  of  the  labors  of  Dr.  Webster,  as  the  pioneer  of 
"exicography  on  this  continent,  and  who  will  not 
readily  admit  the  great  and  distinctive  merits  of  his 
Dictionary."

From  N.  P.  Willis. 

"Webster's  Dictionary  has  been  my  sole  authority 
so  long,  that  to  be  asked  my  opinion  of  it  seems  like 
being  questioned  as  to  my  preference  of  my  own  coun- 
try to  any  other.  He  who  was  the  fountain  of  classic 
taste  when  you  and  I  were  in  college  together,  Prof. 
Goodrich,  gave  it  to  us  as  our  gospel  of  philology,  and, 
for  the  thirty  years  that  have  since  elapsed.  I  have 
grown  to  believe  more  and  more  in  both  Prof.  Good- 
rich and  Webster's  Dictionary. 

44  It  is  one  of  the  Washington-sized  glories  of  our 
country  that  such  a  life-work  as  that  Dictionary  should 
have  been  done  among  us.  It  has  gathered  the  brokea 
columns  of  the  other  philologistic  temples  of  our  lan- 
guage, and  built  them  into  an  American  Parthenon 
We  should  nationally  be  proud  of  it— as,  indeed,  there  ia 
no  denying  that  we  are,  I  believe — and  our  colleges,  lit- 
erary institutions,  and  schools  should,  with  grateful  una- 
nimity, avow  their  honor  for  it,  adopt  and  cherish  it.-* 

From  John  G.  Wiiittier. 
"The  best  and  safest  guide  of  the  students  of  oui 
language." 

From  Fitz-Greene  Halleck. 
"Of  the  book  itself  I  hear  but  one  opinion  from  all 
around  me,  and  do  but  echo  the  universal  voice  in  ex- 
pressing my  approval  of  its  great  worth,  and  my  belie! 
that  it  has  rendered  any  further  research,  or  even  im- 
provement in  our  time,  unnecessary  in  its  department 
of  instruction." 

From  JonN  G.  Saxe. 
"  I  am  one  of  those  who  have  always  been  proud  of 
Mr.  Webster  as  a  learned  philologist.  By  his  labors  as 
a  lexicographer,  he  has  done  more  than  all  our  writers 
to  give  character  and  nationality  to  American  literature. 
In  no  respect  can  his  Dictionary  be  regarded  as  deficient, 
while  in  the  department  of  Etymology — the  only  part 
of  a  lexicon  requiring  great  labor  and  profound  erudi- 
tion— he  is,  by  common  confession  of  scholars,  without 
a  rival  either  in  this  country  or  in  Europe." 

From  Prof.  Park,  Tlieological  Seminary,  Andover. 

"  I  regard  the  unabridged  edition  of  Dr.  Webster's 
Dictionary  as  indispensable  for  the  library  of  every 
American  or  English  student" 

From  President  Olin,  of  Wesleyan  University. 
"Webster's  American  Dictionary  may  now  be  rec- 
ommended, without  reserve  or  qualification,  as  th«

The  New  Class-Book  of  Chemistry.* 

BY  EDWARD  L.  YOUMANS,  M.  D. 
12mo.  400  pages.  Price  SI. 75. 

It  is  some  ten  years  since  Dr.  Youmans'  "  Class-Book  of  Chemistry  "  was  first  published. 
It  has  passed  through  upwards  of  fifty  Editions,  and  has  been  received  everywhere  with 
general  favor.  The  progress  of  chemical  science  during  these  ten  years  has  been  so  great 
as  to  demand  many  changes  and  additions.  The  present  work,  embracing  as  it  does  much 
matter  never  before  published  in  a  class-book,  may  more  properly  be  regarded  as  a  nezo 
work  than  as  a  revision  of  the  author's  original  volume.  The  attention  of  Educators  is 
invited  to  several  important  claims  which  the  new  work  presents  to  their  favorable  con- 
sideration. 

L  In  the  present  state  of  remarkable  intellectual 
activity,  the  advancement  of  ecientific  thought  is 
most  marvellous ;  new  discoveries  crowd  upon 
each  other,  while  old  facts  are  constantly  assuming 
new  relations  and  new  significances.  While  in  the 
Classical,  Mathematical,  and  Literary  branches, 
everything  is  established,  in  Science  all  is  moving. 
This  is  especially  the  case  in  Chemistry,  so  that  a 
book,  however  faithfully  it  may  represent  the  state 
of  knowledge  at  the  time  of  its  publication,  quickly 
becomes  obsolete,  and  therefore  requires  frequent 
and  thorough  revision.  The  new  Class-Book  affords 
an  interesting  illustration  of  the  progress  made  in 
a  single  decade. 


2.  The  department  of  1  Chemical  rhysics,'  em- 
bracing Heat,  Light,  Electricity,  and  the  Molecular 
forces,  which  was  omitted  in  the  old  Class-Book, 
is  presented  with  much  fullness.  This  subject  has 
lately  assumed  a  high  interest  from  the  general 
acceptance  in  the  scientific  world  of  the  new  views 
of  the  connections  of  the  forces.  The  recognition 
and  adoption  of  the  great  law  of  the  '  Correlation 
of  the  Forces '  marks  the  present  as  a  most  impor- 
tant era  in  the  progress  of  science,  and  the  new 
views  are  first  put  into  popular  shape  for  the  use 
of  schools  in  Dr.  Youmans'  work. 

3.  Various  other  subjects  have  come  forward  so 
recently  that  they  are  treated  in  none  of  our  school 
test-books.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned  the 
wonderful  Spectrum  Analysis  which  has  enriched 
Chemistry  with  a  new  and  extraordinary  method 
of  investigation  by  which  three  new  elements  have 
already  been  discovered.  Graham's  interesting 
discoveries  on  the  new  colloidal  condition  of  mat- 
ter, and  Berthelot's  remarkable  achievements  in 
the  artificial  production  of  organic  compounds, 
constitute  great  steps  of  progress  in  these  de- 
partments, and  will  be  found  fully  noticed  in 
the  new  volume.  Many  of  the  views  put  forth 
by  the  Author  in  his  Lectures  on  the  Chemis- 

41 


try  of  the  Sunbeam,  are  also  incorporated  in  the 
work. 

4.  The  author's  aim  has  been  to  prepare  a  book 
suited  to  the  general  purposes  of  education.  "With- 
out being  intended  as  a  laboratory  manual  it  will  be 
copiously  illustrated  with  designs  Qf  apparatus  and 
simple  experiments  adapted  to  illustrate  the  gene- 
ral principles  of  the  science.  As  the  great  mass  of 
students  will  never  become  practical  or  professed 
Chemists,  the  work  is  restricted  to  the  treatment 
of  those  aspects  and  applications  of  the  subject 
which  bear  most  directly  upon  the  experiences  of 
common  life,  and  a  knowledge  of  which  is  now 
essential  to  a  good  education. 

5.  The  volume  is  in  a  6tyle  at  once  lucid,  close, 
and  forcible.  Avoiding  that  excess  of  technicality 
by  which  books  on  Chemistry  are  too  commonly 
embarrassed,  and  avoiding  with  equal  care  the 
puerilities  of  over-diluted  'popular  science,'  the 
author  makes  a  clear,  compact,  and  forcible  state- 
ment of  the  facts  and  principles  of  his  subject. 
While  matured  minds  will  read  it  with  ease  and 
pleasure,  it  is  nevertheless  prepared  for  purposes 
of  education,  and  pupils  will  have  to  study.  An- 
other feature  of  the  work  deserves  careful  notice. 
The  writer  has  continually  striven  to  carry  the 
mind  of  the  pupil  upward  to  those  larger  and 
nobler  views  of  scientific  truth  in  the  wonderful 
scheme  of  nature  which  are  more  and  more  clearly 
revealed  by  the  advance  of  inquiry.  Chemistry  is 
not  now  what  it  was  a  few  years  ago — a  mere  mat- 
ter of  acids  and  alkalies,  colored  fires  and  gas  ex- 
plosions, beginning  and  ending  in  the  lecture-room. 
It  is  an  unfolding  of  the  great  laws  of  nature  around 
and  within  us,  and  has  a  scope  of  application  little 
suspected  in  times  past.  It  is  linked  to  the  whole 
circle  of  the  sciences  ;  and  the  tracing  the  connec- 
tions of  Providential  thought  expressed  in  nature 
is  eminently  fitted  not  only  to  expand  and  fire  the 
intellect,  but  to  touch  and  awaken  the  best  feelinga 
of  the  heart.

Chemical  Chart. 

BY  E.  Li.  YOUMANS,  M.D. 
On  Rollers,  5  feet  by  6  in  size.  New  Edition.  Price  $3. 

This  popular  work  accomplishes  for  the  first  time,  for  Chemistry,  what  maps  and  chart* 
have  for  geography,  geology,  and  astronomy,  hy  presenting  a  new  and  valuable  method  of 
illustration.  Its  plan  is  to  represent  chemical  composition  to  the  eye  hy  colored  diagrams, 
go  that  numerous  facts  of  proportion,  structure,  and  relation,  which  are  the  most  difficult 
in  the  science,  are  presented  to  the  mind  through  the  medium  of  the  eye,  and  may  thus  be 
easily  acquired  and  long  retained.  The  want  of  such  a  Chart  has  long  been  felt  by  the 
thoughtful  teacher,  and  no  other  scientific  publication  that  has  ever  emanated  from  tho 
American  press  has  met  with  the  universal  favor  that  has  been  accorded  to  this  Chart.  In 
the  language  of  a  distinguished  chemist,  "its  appearance  marks  an  era  in  the  progress  of 
the  popularization  of  Chemistry." 

It  illustrates  the  nature  of  elements,  compounds,  affinity,  definite  and  multiple  propor- 
tions, acids,  bases,  salts,  the  salt-radical  theory,  double  decomposition,  deoxidation,  com- 
bustion and  illumination,  isomerism,  compound  radicals,  and  the  composition  of  the 
proximate  principles  of  food.  It  covers  the  whole  field  of  Agricultural  Chemistry,  and  is 
invaluable  as  an  aid  to  public  lecturers,  to  teachers  in  class-room  recitation,  and  for  refer- 
ence in  the  family.    The  mode  of  using  it  is  explained  in  the  class-book. 


From  Jas.  E.  Chilton,  M.  D.,  Chemist. 
"  I  have  examined  the  Chemical  Chart  of  Mr.  E.  L. 
foumans,  and  am  much  pleased  to  say  that  is  a  valu- 
able means  of  readily  imparting  a  correct  knowledge 
of  the  nature  of  chemical  combinations.  A  variety  of 
compounds  are  dissected,  so  as  to  show  at  a  glance  their 
ultimate  atomic  constitution,  in  such  a  way  as  to  im- 
press it  more  forcibly  upon  the  mind  than  could  be 
effected  by  any  other  method  with  which  I  am  ac- 
quainted." 

From  Dr.  Thomas  Antisell,  Professor  of  Chemistry 
in  the  Vermont  Medical  College. 
"Mr.  Youmans'  Chart  is  got  up  in  a  style  which 
renders  it  a  neat  appendage  to  the  lecture-room,  and 
wherever  Chemistry  is  taught  in  schools  and  public 
institutions,  it  will  be  found  an  invaluable  assistant  to 
both  teacher  and  pupil." 

From  Horace  Mann,  President  of  Antioch  College. 

"I  think  Mr.  Youmans  is  entitled  to  great  credit  for 
the  preparation  of  his  Chart,  because  its  use  will  not 
only  facilitate  acquisition,  but,  what  is  of  far  greater 
importance,  will  increase  the  exactness  and  precision 
of  the  student's  elementary  ideas." 


From  Dr.  John  W.  Draper,  Professor  of  Chemistry 
in  the  University  of  New  York. 
"  Mr.  Youmans'  Chart  seems  to  me  well  adapted  to 
communicate  to  beginners  a  knowledge  of  the  definite 
combinations  of  chemical  substances,  and  as  prelimi- 
nary to  the  use  of  symbols,  to  aid  them  very  much  in 
-ecollecting  the  examples  it  contains.  It  deserves  to 
be  introduced  into  the  schools." 


From  James  B.  Rogers,  Professor  of  Cliemixtry  in  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania. 
"We  cordially  subscribe  to  the  opinion  of  Professor 
Draper  concerning  the  value  to  beginners  of  Mr.  You- 
mans' Chemical  Chart

From  Dr.  Eobeet  Haee. 
"I  concur  in  thinking  favorably  of  Mr.  Youmans1 
Chemical  Chart   The  design  is  excellent,  and  as  far  as 
I  have  had  time  to  examine  the  execution,  I  entertain 
the  impression  that  it  is  well  done." 

From  Benjamin  Silliman,  LL.  D.,  Professor  of  Chem- 
istry  in  Yale  College. 
"  I  have  hastily  examined  Mr.  Youmans'  New  Chem- 
ical Diagrams  or  Chart  of  chemical  combinations  by 
the  union  of  the  elements  in  atomic  proportions.  The 
design  appears  to  be  an  excellent  one." 


From  Prof.  Gray,  Author  of  Text-Booka  on  Natu

"Mr.  Youmans'  Chart  presents  to  the  eye  a  clearei 
view  of  the  manner  in  which  the  atoms  cf  chemical 
compounds  are  united,  than  could  be  gaiued  by  th<i 
most  labored  description."

DIAGRAMS,  AND  ACCOMPANIED  BY  EXPLANATORY  ESSAYS,  EMBRACING  THE  LATEST 
VIEWS  OF  THE  SUBJECTS  ILLUSTRATED.    DESIGNED  FOR  THE  USE  OF  STU-

BY   EDWARD  L.  YOUMANS,  M.  D. 
Large  Quarto.  105  pages.  Price  tQ. 

The  Atlas  is  a  reproduction  (in  book  form),  and  a  continuation  of  the  mode  of  exhibiting 
chemical  facts  and  phenomena  adopted  in  the  "  Chemical  Chart."  The  application  of  the 
diagrams  is  here  much  extended,  occupying  thirteen  plates,  printed  in  sixteen  colors,  and 
accompanied  by  100  quarto  pages  of  beautifully  printed  explanatory  letter-press.  It  is  a 
chart  in  a  portable  and  convenient  form,  containing  many  of  the  latest  views  of  the  science 
which  are  not  found  in  the  text-books.  It  is  designed  as  an  additional  aid  to  teachers  and 
pupils,  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the  author's  Class-Book,  or  as  a  review,  and  for  indi- 
viduals who  are  studying  alone. 

It  is  intended  to  accompany  the  author's  Class-Book  of  Chemistry,  but  it  may  be  em-

From  the  Cleveland  Plaindealer. 

"Every  one  who  has  studied  Chemistry  will  remem- 
ber the  many  perplexing  hours  spent  in  trying  to  fix 
in  the  memory  the  component  parts  of  various  com- 
pounds. To  us,  it  was  a  most  irksome  and  disagreea- 
ble task.  Had  Mr.  Yoamans,  book  been  placed  in  our 
hands,  we  are  certain  that  we  could  have  mastered  our 
lessons  with  much  less  than  one-fourth  of  the  labor  we 
were  obliged  to  bestow.  We  call  this  in  all  respects  a 
model  book." 

From  the  Home  Journal. 
"Here  we  have  science  in  pictures — Chemistry  in 
diagrams — eye-dissections  of  all  the  common  forms  of 
matter  around  us ;  the  chemical  composition  and  prop- 
erties of  all  familiar  objects  illustrated  to  the  most  im- 
pressible of  our  senses  by  the  aid  of  colors.  This  is  a 
beautiful  book,  and  as  useful  as  it  is  beautiful.  Mr. 
Youmans  has  hit  upon  a  happy  method  of  simplifying 
and  bringing  out  the  profoundest  abstractions  of 
science,  so  that  they  fall  within  the  clear  comprehen- 
sion of  children." 

From  the  TJtica  Morning  Herald. 

"An  excellent  idea,  well  carried  out  The  stylo  is 
lucid  and  happy,  the  definitions  concise  and  clear,  and 
the  illustrations  felicitous  and  appropriate." 

From  the  Lawrence  Sentinel. 

"We  have  devoted  6ome  little  time  in  looking  over 
this  Atlas,  and  comparing  its  relative  merits  with  sim- 
ilar treatises  heretofore  published,  and  feel  bound  to 
accord  to  it  the  highest  degree  of  approbation  and 
Uvor." 


From  Life  Illustrated. 
"This  method  of  using  the  eye  in  education,  though 
not  the  royal  road  to  knowledge,  is  really  the  people's 
railroad— a  means  of  saving  both  time  and  labor.  This 
work  is  worth  for  actual  instruction  in  common  schools 
far  more  than  a  set  of  apparatus,  which  the  teacher 
might  not  be  able  to  use,  while  every  one  can  teach 
from  the  Atlas.  We  pronounce  it,  without  exception, 
the  best  popular  work  on  Chemistry  in  the  English 
language." 

From  the  Xew  York  Tribune. 

"Mr.  Youmans  is  not  a  mere  routine  teacher  of  his 
favorite  science;  he  has  hit  upon  novel  and  eifective 
methods  for  the  illustration  of  its  principles.  In  his 
writings,  as  well  as  his  lectures,  he  is  distinguished  for 
the  comprehensive  order  of  his  statements,  bis  sym- 
metrical arrangement  of  scientific  facts,  and  the  happy 
manner  in  which  he  addresses  the  intellect  through  the 
medium  of  ocular  demonstration.  In  this  last  respect 
his  method  is  both  original  and  singularly  ingenious. 

From  the  Kewark  Daily  Advertiser. 
"With  this  plan  a  vast  amount  of  information  is 
attainable  by  mere  inspection.  In  a  manufacturing 
community  like  ours,  Chemistry  should  be  studied  by 
yound  and  old,  and  in  the  works  of  Mr.  Youmans  the 
science  is  presented  in  its  most  attractive  and  useful 
form." 

From  the  N.  Y.  Sun. 
"Mr.  Youmans  handles  his  subject  in  a  simple  yet 
masterly  style,  and  we  consider  his  Atlas  unequalled 
in  its  simplicity  and  adaptation  to  the  wants  of  both 
I  teacher  and  pupil."

The  Hand-Book  of  Household  Science 

A  POPULAR  ACCOUNT  OF 
■  HEAT,  LIGHT,  AIR,  ALIMENT,  AND  CLEANSING,  IN  THEIR  SCIENTIFIC  PRINCI 
PLES  AND  DOMESTIC  APPLICATIONS. 

BY  EDWARD  L  YOUMANS,  M.  D. 
12mo.  Illustrated.  470  pages.  Price  Si. 75. 

This  work  has  been  prepared  to  meet  a  long-acknowledged  want  in  our  schools.  There  is 
a  strong  and  growing  demand  for  that  kind  of  knowledge  which  can  he  made  available  in 
the  daily  operations  of  familiar  life.  Various  books  have  been  prepared  which  cross  the 
field  of  domestic  science  at  different  points,  but  this  is  the  first  work  that  traverses  and 
occupies  the  whole  ground.  Hardly  a  page  can  be  opened  to  that  does  not  convey  infor- 
mation interesting  and  valuable  to  every  person  who  dwells  in  a  house.  The  work  will  be 
found  not  only  of  high  practical  utility,  but  captivating  to  the  student,  and  unequalled  in 
the  interest  of  its  recitations. 


EXTRACT  FROM  THE  PREFACE. 

"The  purpose  has  been  to  condense  within  the 
limits  of  a  convenient  manual  the  largest  possible 
amount  of  interesting  and  valuable  scientific  infor- 
mation of  those  agents,  materials,  and  operations  in 
which  we  have  a  concern  chiefly  as  dwellers  in  houses. 

"The  subjects  are  treated  somewhat  in  an  element- 
ary way,  but  with  constant  reference  to  their  domes- 
tic and  practical  relations.  Principles  are  universal ; 
their  applications  are  special  and  peculiar.  There  are 
general  laws  of  light,  heat,  and  air,  but  they  may  be 
studied  in  various  connections.  There  are  many 
things  about  them  which  a  person,  as  a  resident  of  a 
house,  cares  littlo  to  know,  while  there  are  others  in 
which  he  has  a  profound  interest.  To  consider  these, 
we  assume  to  be  the  province  of  household  science. 
The  question  of  moisture  in  the  air,  for  example,  is 
one  of  universal  scientific  interest  to  meteorologists ; 
but  it  has  also  a  special  and  vital  import  for  the  oc- 
cupants of  stove  and  furnace-heated  rooms.  Differ- 
ent colors,  when  brought  together,  alter  and  modify 
each  other  according  to  a  simple  and  beautiful  law ; 
and  the  painter,  the  decorator,  and  the  dyer  have 
each  a  technical  interest  in  the  principle,  but  hardly 
more  than  the  lady  at  her  toilet,  or  engaged  in  fur- 
nishing her  house.  The  agriculturist  is  interested  in 
the  composition  of  food  as  a  producer ;  the  house- 
holder equally  as  a  consumer.  The  doctor  must 
know  the  constituents  of  air  and  its  action  upon  the 
living  system  for  professional  purposes,  and  he  studies 
these  matters  as  parts  of  his  medical  education ;  but 
for  the  same  reasons  of  life  and  death,  the  inhabitants 
of  houses  are  concerned  to  understand  the  same 
things.  These  examples  illustrate  the  leading  con- 
ception of  the  present  work." 
From  the  Supt.  of  Pub.  Inst,  of  the  State  ofPenn. 

The  daily  and  hourly  importance  of  the  topics  em- 
braced in  the  work,  their  imperious  claims  upon 


public  attention,  and  their  intimate  connection  with 
individual  and  social  welfare,  together  with  the  com- 
pendious arrangement  and  copious  fulness  of  infor- 
mation presented,  and  the  cautious  accuracy  and 
precision  of  statement,  make  it  a  publication  of  the 
highest  practical  value  for  both  the  household  and 
the  school.  Very  respectfully  3'ours, 

HENRY  C.  UICKOK. 
Prof.  Edwaed  L.  Youmans. 

From  the  Supt.  of  Schools  of  the  State  of  N.  T. 

It  embodies  scientific  information  of  the  highest 
importance,  arranged  with  much  care,  and  so  clearly 
stated  that  even  the  ordinary  mind  can  scarcely  fail 
to  grasp  and  retain  the  truths  it  unfolds  and  illus- 
trates. It  would  prove  a  most  valuable  class-book  in 
our  high  schools,  and  I  am  satisfied  that  an  examina- 
tion into  its  merits  would  result  in  its  general  intro- 
duction into  such  institutions. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 
H.  H.  VAN  DYCK,  Sup"t  Pub.  Instruction. 

From  the  Springfield  Republican. 
It  is  the  work  of  a  man  thoroughly  scientific  and 
thoroughly  practical.  It  is  no  extravagance  to  say 
that  a  mastery  of  its  contents  will  secure  a  better 
knowledge  of  the  applications  of  Chemistry,  Physi- 
ology, and  Natural  Philosophy,  to  life  and  life's  con- 
cerns, than  the  combined  treatises  upon  these  sub- 
jects which  are  usually  found  in  our  school-rooms. 

From  the  Detroit  Advertiser. 
This  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  and  important 
books  that  has  of  late  been  issued  from  the  press.  It 
will  do  more  to  elevate  and  connect  the  ordinary  du- 
ties of  household  life  with  the  domain  of  science  than 
any  other  work  yet  published.  It  is  so  arranged  that 
the  general  reader  and  the  man  of  science  may  refer 
to  it  with  satisfaction.

PROFESSOR  OF  PHYSIOLOGY,  CHEMISTRY,  AND  NATURAL  HISTORY,  IN  CONNECTICUT  STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL. 

12mo.  324  pages.  Price,  $1.75. 

REVISED  EDITION,  WITH  AN  APPENDIX. 

Prof.  Conrings's  thorough  acquaintance  with  every  department  of  Physiology,  and  his  long 
experience  as  a  teacher  of  that  science,  qualify  him  in  an  eminent  degree  for  preparing  an 
accurate  and  useful  text-book  on  the  subject.  He  has  lost  no  opportunity  of  introducing  prac- 
tical instructions  in  the  principles  of  hygiene,  thus  not  only  making  the  pupil  acquainted  with 
the  wondrous  workmanship  of  his  own  frame,  but  showing  him  how  to  preserve  it  in  a  sound 
and  healthy  state.  Avoiding  technical  terms,  as  far  as  possible,  he  has  brought  the  subject 
fully  within  the  comprehension  of  the  young,  and  has  clothed  it  with  unusdal  interest,  by  judi- 
cious references  to  the  comparative  physiology  of  the  inferior  animals.  Pictorial  illustrations 
have  been  freely  introduced,  wherever  it  was  thought  they  could  aid  or  interest  the  student.

Hygiene.* 

BY    THOMAS    H.  HUXLEY,    LL.    D.,    F.    R.    S.,  AND 
WILLIAM  J.  YOUMANS,  M.  D. 

With  numerous  Illustrations.  1  vol.  12mo.  Price,  SI. 75. 

This  book  is  an  original  work,  not  compiled  from  other  authorities,  but  an  authority  in  it- 
self, and  is  already  accepted  as  such  in  the  scientific  world.  Prof.  Huxley  ranks  among  the 
first  of  living  physiologists,  and  his  opinions  are  received  with  deference  by  the  most  ad- 
vanced minds.  This  book  was  written  by  him  for  the  purpose  of  clearing  the  subject  from 
the  crude  statements  and  doubtful  doctrines  which  had  crept  into  the  popular  text-books 
through  the  incompetence  of  compilers. 

The  general  subject  of  Hygiene,  prepared  by  Dr.  Youmans,  is  treated  in  a  series  of  chap- 
ters, bearing  the  following  titles  :  The  Scope  and  Aim  of  Hygiene ;  Air  and  Health  ;  "Water 
and  Health  ;  Food  and  Health  •  Clothing  and  Health ;  Exercise  and  Health  ;  Mental  Hygiene.

SOMETHING  NEW.— OB JECT-TE ACHING  MADE  PRACTICAL. 


First  Book  of  Botany/ 

DESIGNED  TO  CULTIVATE  TUE  OBSERVING  POWERS  OF  CHILDREN. 
BY  ELIZA  A.  YOUMANS. 
Price,  $1.25. 

This  little  book  has  a  twofold  claim  upon  those  concerned  in  the  work  of  education  : 

1.  It  introduces  the  beginner  to  the  study  of  Botany  in  the  only  way  it  can  be  properly 
done — by  the  direct  observation  of  vegetable  forms. 

2.  It  is  designed  to  keep  the  mind  in  direct  intercourse  with  the  objects  and  order  of 
Nature,  and  to  train  the  observing  powers  and  the  mental  operations  they  involve  in  a  sys- 
tematic way. 

There  are  no  lessons  to  "  commit  and  recite."  The  pupil  commences  with  actual  speci- 
mens of  plants  which  every  one  is  able  to  collect,  and  learns  to  look  with  his  own  eyes  and 
think  with  his  own  mind. 

Children  can  begin  to  study  plants  successfully  by  this  method  as  soon  as  they  can  write, 
and  any  teacher,  without  previous  knowledge  of  the  subject,  can  conduct  them  through  the 
exercises  without  difficulty. 

Every  true  teacher  will  hail  this  new  work  with  delight

Principles   of  Geology. 

BY  SIR  CHARLES  LYELL,  M,  A.,  F.  R.  S. 
1  vol.  8vo.  834  pages.  Price  $3.50. 

Sir  Charles  Lyell  is  the  greatest  of  living  geologists*  In  the  work  here  offered  to  the 
public,  are  embodied  such  results  of  his  observation  and  research  as  bear  on  the  modern 
changes  in  the  earth's  structure  and  the  organic  and  inorganic  kingdoms  of  nature.  The 
subject  possesses  great  interest,  not  only  for  the  scientific,  but  for  all  intelligent  readers  ; 
and  the  author  has  made  the  most  of  it.  Wielding  a  lucid  and  often  eloquent  pen,  pre- 
senting his  facts  in  a  striking  form,  and  establishing  his  theories  by  incontestible  reasoning, 
he  may  justly  be  said  to  have  exhausted  the  subject  and  left  nothing  further  to  be  desired. 

Not  the  least  valuable  part  of  the  volume  is  a  preliminary  historical  sketch  of  the  prog- 
ress of  the  science.  A  carefully  constructed  Glossary  of  geological  terms  is  appended  for 
the  benefit  of  the  student ;  and  facility  of  reference  is  insured  by  the  addition  of  a  copious 
Alphabetical  Index. 


From  the  Boston  Traveller. 
"It  will  only  be  necessary  to  announce  this  new  and 
handsome  edition  of  Lyell's  standard  work  on  Geology, 
to  induce  all  lovers  of  this  most  interesting  and  instruc- 
tive science  to  secure  a  copy  of  the  work,  if  possible; 


for  every  successive  edition  of  such  a  work  has  a  value 
which  none  of  its  predecessors  had,  inasmuch  as  new 
discoveries  are  being  constantly  made  by  the  activo 
author,  and  other  distinguished  geologists  which  illus- 
trate topics  discussed  in  the  work." 


Elements    of  Geology. 

BY  SIR  CHARLES  LYELL,  M.  A.,  F.  R,  S. 
1  vol.  8vo.  685  pages.  Price  $3.50. 

This  work,  by  the  same  distinguished  author  as  the  above,  treats  of  the  ancient  changes 
of  the  earth  and  its  inhabitants,  as  illustrated  by  geological  monuments.  It  relates  to  a 
different  branch  of  the  subject  from  the  treatise  above  mentioned,  and,  taken  in  connection 
with  it,  completely  illumines  the  dark  ages  of  our  planet's  early  history,  and  exhibits  the 
convulsions  and  revolutions  that  have  successively  taken  place  on  its  surface. 

The  present  is  a  reprint  of  the  sixth  London  edition,  and  contains  the  latest  emendations 
and  additions  of  its  author,  as  well  as  the  discoveries  of  other  men  of  science.  No  expense 
of  illustration  has  been  spared  in  its  production  ;  wood-cuts  to  the  number  of  750  embellish 
its  pages,  and  insure  a  thorough  comprehension  of  the  subject. 

Seminaries  of  learning  can  find  no  fuller  or  more  satisfactory  course  on  Geology  than  that 
embraced  in  these  two  works  by  Sir  Charles  Lyell. 


From  the  Charleston  Mercury. 
"There  is  no  branch  of  natural  science  where  there 
Is  a  more  quickly  recurring  necessity  for  new  editions 
of  elementary  books,  than  Geology.  It  is  itself  but  the 
germ  of  a  science,  daily  gathering  fresh  facts  and  ex- 
tending its  jurisdiction  over  new  fields  of  observation. 
What  was  a  satisfactory  account  of  its  discoveries  a  few 
fear?  ago,  is  now  obsolete.   And  among  the  scholars 


and  observers  who  have  done  most  to  advance  the 
science,  and  are  most  competent  to  elucidate  its  present 
condition,  is  the  author  of  the  volume  before  us." 

From  the  American  Educator. 
"As  it  now  stands,  it  may  justly  be  regarded  as  the. 
most  valuable  work  extant  on  this  branch  of  Lb 
subject."

This  is  the  first  and  only  work  published  in  this  country  or  in  Europe  devoted  exclu- 
sively to  keeping  books  in  Banks  and  Joint-stock  Companies. 

It  is  believed  that  the  Marsh  Series  of  Works  on  Book-keeping  possess  the  following 
peculiar  and  valid  claims  to  the  consideration  of  teachers  : — 

1.  They  are  •omplete  and  original  works. 

2.  They  present  a  new  theory  of  the  science,  dispensing  with  numerous  rules  and  divisions,  and  substituting 
an  original  and  truly  practical  rule — called  the  "Infallible  Rule." 

3.  They  are  so  arranged  as  to  furnish  regular  courses  of  practice  for  the  pupil. 

4.  The  explanations  contained  in  the  works  attend  on,  follow,  and  direct,  all  the  entries  and  operations  con- 
nected with  a  set  of  books. 

5.  These  works  embrace  a  better  routine  of  business  than  any  heretofore  published. 

6.  They  are  printed  in  colors,  in  order  to  show  the  balancing  entries,  lines,  etc.,  in  red,  as  in  common  prao- 
tlce  in  the  counting-room. 

7.  They  are  got  up  in  a  style  far  superior  to  any  other  works  on  this  science  in  the  world. 

The  strongest  indorsement  of  these  works  have  been  received  from  accountants,  teachers, 
md  the  press,  in  America  and  England.

From  the  N.  Y.  Teacher. 
This  work  originally  appeared  in  four  Essays,  in 
the  British  Reviews.  They  are  first  collected  and 
published  in  book  form  in  this  country.  The 
book  marks  an  era  in  the  discussion  of  education. 
We  deem  it  of  so  much  importance  as  to  deserve 
something  like  a  review  in  a  future  number.  In  the 
mean  time,  we  commend  it  to  the  attention  of  all  who 
wish  to  see  the  subject  discussed  in  a  profound  and 
philosophical  manner.  The  work  is  advertised  in 
the  present  number.  "We  are  happy  to  learn  that 
the  author's  more  elaborate  works  are  about  to  be  is- 
sued by  subscription,  in  a  serial  form.  The  publish- 
ers of  the  present  book  will  receive  subscriptions,  in 
this  country,  and  have  already  the  names  of  our 
leading  scholars  and  authors.

From  the  Mass.  Teacher. 
Herbert  Spencer  is  an  English  philosopher,  whose 


writings  evince  a  great  deal  of  depth,  originality,  and 
congeniality;  but  are  little  known  in  this  country. 
Messrs.  D.  Appleton  &  Co.  deserve,  and  will  receive, 
the  warmest  thanks  of  our  best  teachers  for  offering 
them  the  contents  of  this  volume,  as  a  New  Year's 
present.  If  circumstances  permit,  some  selections 
from  it  will  be  given  in  one  of  our  next  numbers. 
The  author  proposes  to  issue,  in  periodical  parts,  a 
connected  series  of  works  which  he  has,  for  several 
years,  been  preparing.  A  number  of  the  most  dis- 
tinguished scholars  and  professors  in  England, 
France,  and  the  United  States,  have  already  sub- 
scribed, but  the  list  proves  still  insufficient  to  cover 
the  expenses  of  the  undertaking.

12mo.    Price  $1.60. 

The  following  statement  will  enable  the  reader  to  see  at  once  the  merits  and  peculiarities 
of  the  Hand-Books  : 

The  English  language  consists  of  some  eighty  thousand  words,  drawn  from  five  principal 
sources — namely,  from  the  Anglo-Saxon,  Celtic,  Gothic,  French,  and  Latin  and  Greek,  or 
Classic  languages.  Twenty-three  thousand  of  these  words  are  from  the  Anglo-Saxon.  The 
whole  twenty-three  thousand  words  may  he  traced  hack  to  one  thousand  root-words.  The 
twenty-two  thousand  have  been  formed  by  adding  one  or  more  root-words,  or  parts  of 
them,  together.  There  are  now  of  these  twenty-three  thousand  Anglo-Saxon  words,  only 
some  six  or  seven  thousand  in  good  use.  The  remaining  fifty-seven  thousand  words  of  the 
language  may  also  be  traced  back  to  a  few  thousand  root-words  in  the  languages  from 
which  they  have  been  borrowed. 

Every  child  should  be  early  taught  the  whole  six  or  seven  thousand  choice  Anglo-Saxon 
words,  because  they  are  those  continually  used  in  the  various  occupations  of  life.  Few 
scholars  can  use  more  than  six  thousand  of  the  words  drawn  from  Celtic,  Gothic,  French, 
and  Classic  sources.  But  there  is  no  reason  why  every  pupil  in  our  public  schools  should 
not  be  able  also  to  use  them.  Indeed,  the  three  Hand-Books  are  so  arranged  that  the  six 
thousand  choice  Anglo-Saxon  words,  and  the  six  thousand  choice  words  from  other  sources, 
may  be  acquired  easily  in  one  year. 

But  to  teach  the  English  language  successfully,  the  teacher  should  have  clearly  before 
his  own  mind  its  origin,  grouih,  elements,  or  sources  of  formation,  grammatical  structure,  genera\ 
history,  and  literature. 


The  following  synopsis  throws  light  upon  the  Eng-  | 
lish  language : 

I.  Its  origin.  In  450  after  Christ,  the  Angles  and 
Saxons  introduced  into  Great  Britain  the  Anglo-Saxon 
language,  which  is  the  mother  tongue  of  the  present 
English. 

II.  Its  growth.  The  root-words  of  the  Anglo-Saxon, 
which  are  few,  have  grown  into  twenty-three  thousand 
by  the  use  of  some  eighteen  prefixes  and  twenty-five 
suffixes.  Six  or  seven  thousand  only  of  these  are  now 
in  good  use.  Again,  some  fifty-seven  thousand  words 
have  been  introduced  into  it  from  several  sources,  but 
chiefly  from  the  Celtic,  Gothic,  French,  and  Classic 
tongues.  It  embraces,  in  all  some  eighty  thousand 
words. 

III.  Its  periods  of  growth  About  450  B.  C,  the 
Anglo-Saxon  words  were  introduced  into  Britain ;  prior 
to  600,  many  Celtic  words ;  before  the  end  of  the  ninth 
century,  many  Gothic  words;  and  rat  106G,  French 
words  were  intermixed;  and  since  the  revival  of  let- 
ters, in  the  fifteenth  century,  a  large  number  of  Greek 
*nd  Latin  words  have  been  incorporated  with  it. 

IV.  .Its  grammatical  laics  and  history.   The  An- 

5 


[  glo-Saxon  or  root  element,  not  only  modified  the  wordi 
from  the  other  languages,  but  gave  them  its  own.  laics. 
Hence  the  grammar  of  the  English  language  should  b« 
built  on  the  Anglo-Saxon  basis,  and  not  on  the  basis  erf 
the  Celtic,  Gothic,  French,  or  Latin  and  Greek. 

V.  Its  literature.  English  literature  docs  not  date 
back  more  than  some  six  centuries.  Nay,  all  that  if 
really  valuable  has  been  produced  during  the  last  three 
hundred  years. 

The  Haxd-Book  ok  Anglo-Saxon  "Words  gives 
1,000  Anglo-Saxon  root-words,  with  their  primary  and 
secondary  meaning,  and  teaches  the  use  of  them. 

The  Hand-Book  of  Anglo-Saxon  Derivative 
Words.  It  explains  the  meaning  of  the  prefixes,  suf- 
fixes, and  terminations  which  change  the  1,000  root- 
words  into  derivatives.  It  gives  some  7,000  of  the 
choicest  of  the  23,000  words  of  Anglo-Sason  origin, 
with  their  meanings  and  use. 

The  Hand-Book  of  the  Engrafted  Words  of  th* 
English  Language  gives  7,000  of  the  best  words  from 
the  Celtic,  Gothic,  French,  and  Classic  tongues,  with 
their  meanings  and  use.

This  work  is  now  complete,  and  is  a  most  valuable  addition  to  our  list  of  text-books  de« 
signed  for  assistance  in  mastering  the  living  languages. 

Vol.  I.  consists  of  an  elegant  series  of  English  extracts. 
Vol.  II.  consists  of  their  translation  into  French,  by  Dr.  J.  Roemer. 
Vol.  III.  consists  of  their  translation  into  German,  by  Dr.  R.  Solger. 
Vol.  IV.  consists  of  their  translation  into  Spanish,  by  Prof.  S.  Camacho. 
Vol.  V.  consists  of  their  translation  into  Italian,  by  Dr.  V.  Botta. 

As  the  title  indicates,  each  volume  is  a  Reader  by  itself,  as  well  as  a  Key  to  any  other. 
By  this  aid  the  student  is  enabled  to  compare  carefully  the  different  forms  of  construction 
of  any  of  the  above-named  languages,  word  for  word,  sentence  for  sentence,  and  to  inves- 
tigate in  their  most  minute  details  the  various  shades  of  difference  and  resemblance  of  such 
as  are  known  to  him  and  those  to  be  learned.  The  impressions  which  he  thus  receives, 
through  the  eye,  of  the  correctly  written  expressions,  in  contrast  with  the  errors  to  which 
he  is  liable,  are  more  deeply  engraved  in  his  mind  than  if  he  had,  through  the  ear,  ob- 
tained the  same  information  from  his  instructor.  He  can  correct  what  is  faulty,  by  the  aid 
of  an  unerring  standard  ;  he  receives,  in  fact,  a  lesson  from  either  the  author  or  the  trans- 
lator himself,  and  thus  attains  a  critical  knowledge  of  the  foreign  language,  and,  what  is 
better  still,  of  his  own,  by  a  method  which  is  sure,  easy,  and  universal  in  its  application. 

An  "Essay  on  the  Study  of  Languages,"  with  which  the  English  part  (Vol.  I.)  is  pre- 
faced, is  generally  conceded  to  be  the  most  complete  treatise  published  on  the  subject.

The  ethnological  relations  of  the  English  language,  its  history  and  analysis,  its  spelling 
and  pronunciation,  etymology  and  syntax,  are  here  treated  with  a  completeness,  learning, 
and  grasp  of  intellect,  that  will  he  vainly  sought  elsewhere.  The  elements  of  our  tongue, 
the  successive  changes  by  which  it  has  heen  modified,  the  origin  of  its  peculiar  expressions, 
and  other  subjects  of  like  importance  and  interest,  receive  due  attention  from  the  author,

12mo.   344  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  treatise  is  intended  to  teach  the  right  use  of  words.  It  explains  the  principal  syno- 
nymes  of  the  language,  classified  and  arranged  in  pairs,  and  illustrates  their  use  at  different 
eras  with  passages  from  Shakspeare,  Milton,  and  Wordsworth.  Exercises  are  appended, 
which  require  the  pupil  to  fill  blanks  by  the  insertion  of  the  words  compared,  selecting  in 
each  case  the  one  that  is  adapted  to  the  context.  Thus  practically  impressed  on  the  pupil's 
mind,  their  distinctive  meanings  will  not  soon  be  forgotten. 

The  attention  of  teachers  is  particularly  invited  to  this  work,  as  one  of  the  most  useful 
that  can  be  found  for  imparting  a  thorough  acquaintance  with  our  tongue.  Besides  teach- 
ing the  student  how  to  avoid  common  inaccuracies  of  expression,  and  training  him  to  that 
precision  which  is  essential  to  a  good  style,  it  will  be  found  highly  serviceable  in  disciplin- 
ing his  mind  by  accustoming  it  to  a  critical  appreciation  of  nice  distinctions.  "Wherever 
it  has  been  introduced  into  academic  or  collegiate  institutions,  it  has  awakened  great 
interest  in  the  study  of  words,  and  proved  a  valuable  auxiliary  to  courses  of  grammar  and

The  above  work  is  offered  as  a  Text-book  for  the  use  of  advanced  Schools  and  Acade 
mies.  It  traces  the  literary  progress  of  the  nation  from  Anglo-Saxon  times  to  the  present 
day,  and  furnishes  a  comprehensive  outline  of  the  origin  and  growth  of  our  language. 
Those  literary  monuments  of  early  date  which  are  thought  most  worthy  of  attention,  aie 
described  with  considerable  fulness  and  in  an  attractive  manner.  Constant  effcst  is  made 
to  arouse  reflection,  both  by  occasional  remarks  on  the  relations  between  intellectual 
culture  and  the  world  of  reality  and  action,  and  by  hints  as  to  the  laws  on  which  criti- 
cism is  founded.  The  characteristics  of  the  most  celebrated  modern  works  are  analyzed 
at  length. 

The  style  of  the  author  is  remarkably  clear  and  interesting,  compelling  the  reader  to 
linger  over  his  pages  with  unwearied  attention. 


From  Prof.  Raymond,  Rochester  University,  N.  Y. 

"This  admirable  volume  supplies  a  desideratum, 
long  felt  by  students  of  the  vernacular.— Chambers' 
Cyclopaedia  of  English  Literature,  Craik's  Sketches 
(six  vols,),  and  Sir  Henry  Ellis's  learned  contributions 
to  the  Pictorial  England,  are  all  too  voluminous  for 
the  tyro,  or  the  more  general  reader;  while  the  brief 


manual  published  by  Chambers  in  1S36  (the  precursor 
of  his  Cyclopredia),  is  little  more  than  a  muster-roll  of 
illustrious  names.  Shaw's  'Outlines  of  English  Liter- 
ature' comes  nearer  the  mark,  and  is  the  work  with 
which  the  present  must  most  directly  compete.  Each 
is  excellent  in  its  way,  but,  as  a  text-book,  Spalding'f 
is  decidedly  the  better."

The  present  Manuals  of  Greek  and  Konian  Antiquities  are  far  superior  to  any  thing  on 
the  same  topics  as  yet  offered  to  the  American  public.  A  leading  Review  of  Germany 
Bays  of  the  Roman  Manual : — "  Small  as  the  compass  of  it  is,  we  may  confidently  affirm 
that  it  is  a  great  improvement  on  all  preceding  works  of  the  kind.  We  no  longer  meet 
with  the  wretched  old  method,  in  which  subjects  essentially  distinct  are  herded  together, 
and  connected  subjects  disconnected,  but  have  a  simple,  systematic  arrangement,  by  which 
the  reader  readily  receives  a  clear  representation  of  Roman  life.  We  no  longer  stumble 
against  countless  errors  in  detail,  which,  though  long  ago  assailed  and  extirpated  by 
Niebuhr  and  others,  have  found  their  last  place  of  refuge  in  our  manuals.  The  recent 
investigations  of  philologists  and  jurists  have  been  extensively,  but  carefully  and  circum- 
spectly used."

TRINITT  PROFESSOR  OF  CHRISTIAN  ETHICS  AND  LOGIC  I.N  11UB1KT  TREE  COLLEGE. 

12mo.  425  pages.  Price  SI. 50. 

The  acknowledged  value  of  the  study  of  Logic  as  a  mental  discipline,  for  strengthening 
the  judgment  and  developing  the  reasoning  faculties,  ought  to  make  it  a  regular  branch  ol 
school  and  college  instruction  ;  and  it  would  no  doubt  have  long  since  been  recognized  as 
such,  had  suitable  text-books  on  the  subject  been  accessible.  But  unfortunately,  writers 
on  Dialectics  have  had  in  view  the  matured  rather  than  the  maturing  mind.  The  abstruse- 
ness  of  the  subject  as  generally  arranged,  added  to  the  technical  and  unintelligible  lan- 
guage in  which  it  has  heretofore  been  presented,  has  not  only  rendered  it  distasteful  to  the 
young,  but  also  prevented  teachers  from  giving  it  that  attention  which  its  importance  de- 
serves. It  was  reserved  for  Prof.  "Wilson  to  bring  tbis  branch  of  science  within  the  com- 
prehension of  the  youthful  mind,  and  to  produce  a  school  treatise  on  it  at  once  perspicuous, 
practical,  and  interesting. 

The  peculiar  merits  of  Dr.  "Wilson's  Elementary  Treatise  on  Logic  can  become  known 
only  by  a  thorough  examination  of  the  book  itself,  or  daily  use  in  the  class-room.  But  a 
few  of  its  distinguishing  features  can  be  here  enumerated.  In  the  first  place,  it  is  eminently 
clear  in  its  arrangement,  language,  and  illustrations.  Its  definitions  are  terse  and  precise  ; 
its  advance  from  step  to  step  is  natural  and  gradual ;  every  technicality  is  thoroughly  ex- 
plained, and  every  difficulty  removed.  Secondly,  it  covers  the  whole  ground,  leaving 
nothing  unsaid,  nothing  unexplained,  nothing  for  the  scholar  to  ask,  nothing  for  the  teacher 
to  supply  from  other  sources.  Again,  it  is  claimed  that  in  this  work  many  errors  inherent 
in  the  old  systems,  and  perpetuated  by  writer  after  writer,  from  Aristotle  down,  have  been 
corrected,  and  that  important  new  ground  has  been  covered. 

The  subject  of  Method,  by  some  omitted  altogether,  receives  special  attention  at  the  hands 
of  the  author  ;  who,  to  all  that  is  valuable  in  the  works  of  others,  has  added  the  results  of 
his  own  careful  study.  If  the  formulas  of  Logic  are  worth  any  thing,  of  course  the  method 
of  their  application's  important ;  in  fact,  on  this  method  depends  much  of  their  value.  In 
the  application  of  his  rules  and  precepts,  Dr.  "Wilson  is  peculiarly  happy.  He  never  allows 
the  pupil  to  lose  sight  of  the  practical  phase  of  the  questions  he  successively  treats. 

The  First  Part  of  the  Elementary  Treatise  relates  to  the  Analysis  of  Formulas.  A  new 
and  superior  classification  of  syllogisms  has  been  adopted,  and  the  different  classes  are  de- 
fined and  illustrated  in  such  a  way  as  to  insure  their  prompt  recognition.  The  Second 
Part  of  the  work,  in  which  the  original  labors  of  the  author  are  everywhere  apparent, 
considers  in  turn  the  Methods  of  Investigation,  of  Proof  and  Refutation,  of  Instruction  and 
Criticism.    An  Appendix  furnishes  copious  examples  for  the  exercise  of  the  student. 

The  publishers  are  convinced  that  the  clearness,  completeness,  and  practical  character  of 
this  work  will  greatly  facilitate  the  study  of  Logic  in  schools  and  colleges.  They  invite 
the  severest  test  of  the  claims  here  made  in  its  behalf.

Elements  of  Logic. 

WITH  AN  INTBODUCTOEY  YIEW  OF  PHILOSOPHY  EN  GENERAL,  AND  A  PEEUMINAE1 

VIEW  OF  THE  SEASON. 

BY  HENRY  W,  TAPPAN. 

12mo.  467  pages.  Price  81.50. 

Not  considering  Logic  as  an  abstraction,  Prof.  Tappan  assigns  it  its  proper  place  among 
kindred  sciences,  and  takes  the  student  over  the  whole  field  of  Philosophy,  that  the  con- 
nection of  its  various  parts  may  he  distinctly  perceived.  He  presents  the  subject,  not 
merely  as  a  method  of  obtaining  inferences  from  truths,  but  also  as  a  method  of  establish- 
ing those  first  truths  and  general  principles  that  must  precede  all  deduction.  The  great 
starting-points  of  theory,  the  sources  to  which  we  must  look  for  premises  in  every  depart- 
ment of  science,  are  viewed  in  connection  with  Logic  ;  the  relations  between  the  two  are 
examined  ;  and  the  proper  understanding  of  both  is  thus  greatly  facilitated.  This  is  new 
ground  ;  yet  it  is  what  the  profound  thinker  and  all  who  would  master  the  subject  have 
long  needed. 

In  carrying  out  this  plan,  the  author  begins  with  Philosophy  in  general;  shows  tie 
distinction  between  the  Phenomenal  and  the  Metaphenomenal,  the  Objective  and  the 
Subjective,  the  Sensual  and  the  Transcendental ;  defines  Ideas  and  the  laws  of  their  devel- 
opment ;  and  then  proceeds  to  treat  of  the  divisions  of  General  Philosophy,  Metaphysics, 
and  Nomology — in  the  latter  of  which,  with  Ethics,  ^Esthetics,  and  Somatology,  Logic  is 
included. 

The  interesting  questions  incidentally  opened  up,  such  as  the  Criteria  of  a  True  Philoso- 
phy, receive  attention,  and  then,  after  a  brief  preliminary  view  of  the  Reason  and  its  func- 
tions, we  are  introduced  to  Logic  Proper.  The  evolution  of  Ideas,  in  all  their  variety,  is 
first  set  forth  at  length  ;  and  numerous  important  points,  now  for  the  first  time  found  in  a 
system  of  Logic,  such  as  the  relation  between  matter  and  spirit,  right  and  wrong,  freedom 
and  responsibility,  are  discussed  in  a  manner  which  proves  the  author  a  practical  adept  in 
the  science  he  would  teach.  Inductive  and  Deductive  Logic  follow  ;  the  latter  of  which 
embraces  all  the  rules,  principles,  and  formulae  to  be  found  in  the  text-books  of  former 
dialecticians,  and  to  which  for  the  most  part  they  confine  themselves. 

The  work  closes  with  a  masterly  dissertation  on  the  nature  of  proof,  its  different  kinds, 
degrees  of  evidence,  circumstantial  evidence,  reasoning  from  experience  and  analogy,  and 
the  calculation  of  chances.  Important  as  these  subjects  are,  and  intimately  as  they  are 
connected  with  the  work  of  the  dialectician,  they  have  heretofore  had  no  place  in  treatises 
on  Logic ;  Mr.  Tappan  is  the  first  to  unfold  their  connection  with  this  science,  and  the 
clearness  and  comprehensiveness  with  which  he  has  treated  them  leave  nothing  to  be 
desired. 

Earnest  thinkers,  students  who  have  advanced  as  far  as  other  treatises  will  carry  them, 
in  a  word,  those  who  desire  to  have  the  subject  presented  in  all  its  relations^  will  find  in 
this  work  of  Prof.  Tappan' s  a  treasure  of  material  never  before  collated  in  a  single  volume, 
much  of  which  has  been  altogether  out  of  the  pupil's  reach.  Adapted  alike  to  private 
study  and  the  use  of  advanced  classes  in  academies  and  colleges,  clear  in  their  language, 
philosophical  in  their  arrangement,  abounding  in  happy  illustrations  which  insure  a  thor- 
ough understanding  even  of  the  most  abstruse  points,  it  is  believed  that  these  Elements  of 
Logic  will  supply  a  want  long  felt,  and  create  a  taste  for  a  branch  of  science  heretofore 
proverbially  devoid  of  interest.

Elements  of  Moral  Philosophy: 

ANATIIETICAL,  SYNTHETICAL,  AND  PRACTICAL. 

BY  HUBBARD  WIXSLOW. 

12mo.  480  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  work  is  an  original  and  thorough  examination  of  the  fundamental  laws  of  Moral 
Science,  and  of  their  relations  to  Christianity  and  to  practical  life.  It  has  already  taken  a 
firm  stand  among  our  highest  works  of  literature  and  science.  From  the  numerous  com- 
mendations of  it  hy  our  most  learned  and  competent  men,  we  have  room  for  only  the  fol- 
lowing brief  extracts  : 


From  the  Eev.  Thomas  II.  Skinner.  D.  D.,  of  the 
Union  Theol.  Soc^  N.  Y. 
"  It  is  a  work  of  uncommon  merit,  on  a  subject  very 
difficult  to  be  treated  well  His  analysis  is  complete. 
He  has  shunned  no  question  which  his  purpose  re- 
quired him  to  answer,  and  he  has  met  no  adversary 
which  he  has  not  overcome.'" 

From  Eev.  L.  P.  Hickok,  D.  D.,  Vice-President  of 
Union  College. 
"  I  deem  the  book  well  adapted  to  the  ends  proposed 
in  the  preface.  The  style  is  clear,  the  thoughts  per- 
spicuous. I  think  it  calculated  to  do  good,  to  promote 
the  truth,  to  diffuse  light,  and  impart  instruction  in  the 
community,  on  a  department  of  study  of  the  deepest 
interest  to  mankind." 

From  Eev.  James  Walker,  D.  D.,  President  of  liar- 
xard  University. 
"  Having  carefully  examined  the  more  critical  parts 
to  which  my  attention  has  been  especially  directed,  I 
am  free  to  express  my  conviction  of  the  great  clear- 
ness, discrimination,  and  accuracy  of  the  work,  and  of 
its  admirable  adaptation  to  its  object" 

From  Eev.  Simon  North,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  President 
of  Hamilton  College. 
"As  a  work  alike  adapted  for  general  reading  and 
for  use  as  a  text-book  in  the  instruction  of  classes,  it 
must  be  counted  a  highly  valuable  contribution  to 
philosophy." 

From  Eev.  Eay  Palmer,  D.  D.,  of  Albany. 
"  I  have  examined  this  work  with  great  pleasure, 
and  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  in  my  judgment  it  is 
greatly  superior  to  any  treatise  I  have  seen,  in  all  the 
essential  requisites  of  a  good  text-book." 

From  Prof.  Eosseau  D.  Hitchcock,  D.  D.,  of  Union 
Theol.  Soc,  2f.  Y. 
"The  task  of  mediating  between  science  and  the 
popular  mind,  is  one  that  requires  a  peculiar  gift  of 
perspicuity,  both  in  thought  and  style;  and  this,  I 
think,  the  author  possesses  in  an  eminent  degree.  I 
am  pleased  with  its  comprehensiveness,  its  plainness, 
and  its  fidelity  to  the  Christian  stand-point."

From  Pkof.  Henry  B.  Smith,  I).  D.,  of  Vie  Union 
Tluol.  Soc,  N.  Y. 

"It  commends  itself,  by  its  clear  arrangement  of 
the  topics,  its  perspicuity  of  language,  and  its  constant 
practical  bearings.  I  am  particularly  pleased  with  its 
views  of  conscience.  Its  frequent  and  pertinent  illus- 
trations, and  the  Scriptural  character  of  its  explana- 
tions of  the  particular  duties,  will  make  the  work  botb 
attractive  and  valuable  as  a  text-book,  in  imparling 
instruction  upon  this  vital  part  of  philosophy." 

From  W.  D.  Wilson,  D.  D.,  Professor  of  Intel- 
lectual and  Moral  Philosophy  in  Uubart  Free 
College. 

"I  have  examined  the  work  with  care,  and  have 
adopted  it  as  a  text-book  in  the  study  of  Moral  Science. 
I  consider  it  not  only  sound  in  doctrine,  but  clear  and 
systematic  in  method,  and  withal  pervaded  with  a 
prevailing  healthy  tone  of  sentiment,  which  cannot 
fail  to  leave  behind,  in  addition  to  the  truths  it  incul- 
cates, an  impression  in  favor  of  those  truths.  I  esteem 
this  one  of  the  greatest  merits  of  the  book.  In  this 
respect  it  has  no  equal,  so  far  as  I  know;  and  I  do  not 
hesitate  to  speak  of  it  as  being  preferable  to  any  other 
work  yet  published,  for  use  in  all  institutions  where 
Moral  Philosophy  forms  a  department  in  the  course  of 
instruction." 

From  Eev.  Peof.  Huntington,  D.  D.,  of  Cambridge 
College. 

"This  author  never  sacrifices  clearness  or  method  to 
practical  effect ;  but  his  work  is  much  more  than  the 
dry  bones  of  formal  statements,  verbal  distinctions,  or 
abstruse  speculations.  He  succeeds  in  at  once  stimu 
lating  the  intellect  and  warming  the  heart." 

From  Eev.  Amos  Blanchaed,  D.  D.,  Lowell,  JIass 

"The  style  is  calm,  sustained,  and  philosophical 
The  author  has  succeeded  in  recognizing  all  essential 
Christian  doctrines,  while  never  departing  from  facts, 
as  given  in  experience,  and  from  the  instructions  and 
deductions  of  reason.  He  has  thus  laid  all  preachers 
of  the  Gospel  under  obligations,  which  those  who  read 
the  book  will  rejoice  to  acknowledge.  I  cannot  bnt 
believe  that  its  extraordinary  merits  will  give  it  ready 
introduction  into  colleges  and  schools."

A  History  of  Philosophy 


AN  EPITOME. 


BY  DR.  ALBERT  SCHWEGLER. 

TRANSLATED  FROM  THE  ORIGINAL  GERMAN,  BY  JULIUS  H.  SEELYE. 

12mo.  365  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  translation  is  designed  to  supply  a  want  long  felt  by  both  teachers  and  students  in 
our  American  colleges.  "We  have  valuable  histories  of  Philosophy  in  English,  but  no 
manual  on  this  subject  so  clear,  concise,  and  comprehensive  as  the  one  now  presented. 
Schwegler's  work  bears  the  marks  of  great  learning,  and  is  evidently  written  by  one  who 
has  not  only  studied  the  original  sources  for  such  a  history,  but  has  thought  out  for  him- 
self the  systems  of  which  he  treats.  He  has  thus  seized  upon  the  real  germ  of  each  system 
and  traced  its  process  of  development  with  great  clearness  and  accuracy.  The  whole  his- 
tory of  speculation,  from  Thales  to  the  present  time,  is  presented  in  its  consecutive  order. 
This  rich  and  important  field  of  study,  hitherto  so  greatly  neglected,  will,  it  is  hoped,  re- 
ceive a  new  impulse  among  American  students  through  Mr.  Seelye's  translation.  It  is  a 
book,  moreover,  invaluable  for  reference,  and  should  be  in  the  possession  of  every  public 
and  private  library. 


From  L.  P.  Hickok,  Vice-President  of  Union  College. 

"  I  have  had  opportunity  to  hear  a  large  part  of  Eev. 
Mr.  Seelye's  translation  of  Schwegler's  History  of  Phi- 
losophy read  from  manuscript,  and  I  do  not  hesitate  to 
say  that  it  is  a  faithful,  clear,  and  remarkably  precise 
English  rendering  of  this  invaluable  Epitome  of  the 
History  of  Philosophy.  It  is  exceedingly  desirable 
that  it  should  be  given  to  American  students  of  philos- 
ophy in  the  English  language,  and  I  have  no  expecta- 
tion of  its  more  favorable  and  successful  accomplish- 
ment than  in  this  present  attempt  I  should  imme- 
diately introduce  it  as  a  text-book  in  the  graduate's  de- 
partment under  my  own  instruction,  if  it  be  favorably 
published,  and  cannot  doubt  that  other  teachers  will 
rejoice  to  avail  themselves  of  the  like  assistance 
from  it." 

From  Henry  B.  Smith,  Professor  of  Christian  The- 
ology, Union  Theological  Seminary,  JV.  Y. 

u  It  will  well  reward  diligent  study,  and  is  one  of  the 
best  works  for  a  text-book  in  our  colleges  upon  this 
neglected  branch  of  scientific  investigation." 

From  N.  Porter,  Professor  of  Intellectual  Philoso- 
phy in  Yale  College. 
"It  is  the  only  book  translated  from  the  German 
winch  professes  to  give  an  account  of  the  recent  Ger- 
man systems  which  seems  adapted  to  give  any  Intelli- 
gible information  on  the  subject  to  a  novice." 

From  Geo.  P.  Fisher,  Professor  of  Divinity  in  Yale 
College. 

"  It  is  really  the  best  Epitome  of  the  History  of  Phi- 
losophy now  accessible  to  the  English  student." 


From  Joseph  Haven,  Professor  of  Mental  Philoso- 
phy in  Amherst  College. 
"  As  a  manual  and  brief  summary  of  the  whole  range 
of  speculative  inquiry,  I  know  of  no  work  which  strikes 
me  more  favorably." 

From  Thomas  C.  Upham,  Professor  of  Mental  Phi- 
losophy in  Boicdoin  College. 
"  I  have  examined  it  with  great  satisfaction." 

From  C.  Long,  Professor  of  Mental  Philosophy  in 
Dartmouth  College. 
"  Schwegler's  statements  are  clearer  than  any  I  have 
met  with  elsewhere." 

From  Benj.  N.  Martin,  Professor  of  Philosophy  in 
the  University  of  New  York. 
"I  have  examined  it  with  a  great  deal  of  pleasure, 
and  rejoice  to  have  so  useful  a  work  made  accessible 
to  the  young  men  of  our  institutions." 

From  M.  B.  Anderson,  President  of  Rochester  Uni- 
versity. 

"  I  place  a  very  high  estimate  upon  the  work,  both 
for  its  matter,  and  the  elegance  of  the  translation." 

From  J.  C.  Binnet,  President  of  Columbian  College. 

"  I  am  led  to  expect  more  than  ordinary  satisfaction 
in  this  work." 

From  James  "Walker,  President  of  Harvard  Uni- 
versity. 

"  It  will  prove  a  valuable  contribution  to  our  meana 
of  instruction  in  Philosophy."

Lectures 

ON 

The  True,  the  Beautiful,  and  the  Good. 

BY  M.  VICTOR  COUSIN.    TRANSLATED  BY  O.  W.  WIGHT. 
1  vol.  8vo.  391  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

Cousin  is  confessedly  the  soundest  of  modern  philosophers.  The  founder  and  head  of  the 
Eclectic  School,  his  teachings  hy  the  intrinsic  force  of  truth  have,  with  all  earnest  thinkers, 
superseded  the  insufficient  systems  that  preceded  it.  The  theory  on  which  they  are  based 
may  justly  be  called  a  high-toned  spiritualism,  whose  tendency  is  to  subordinate  the  sen- 
sual and  ennoble  mankind.  It  teaches  the  spirituality  of  the  soul,  the  freedom  and  respon- 
sibility of  human  action,  the  dignity  of  justice,  and  the  beauty  of  charity.  It  sustains  re- 
ligious sentiment,  seconds  art,  supports  the  right,  and  purifies  society. 

Such  is  the  general  character  of  Cousin's  philosophy.  In  these  Lectures,  the  latest  pro- 
duction of  his  great  mind,  it  is  presented  in  a  condensed,  striking,  and  attractive  form. 
After  taking  a  brief  view  of  the  philosophy  of  the  nineteenth  century,  and  the  relation 
which  his  theory  sustains  to  other  systems,  the  author  enters  at  once  upon  his  subject. 
Under  the  head  of  "  the  True,"  he  considers  the  existence,  origin,  and  value  of  Universal 
and  Necessary  Principles ;  God,  the  principle  of  principles  ;  and  mysticism  of  sentiment 
and  philosophy.  Under  "the  Beautiful,"  he  treats  of  Beauty  in  nature  and  art,  and  adds 
a  valuable  chapter  on  French  art  in  the  seventeenth  century.  Under  the  head  of  "the 
Good,"  he  surveys  the  whole  field  of  Ethics,  reviews  the  theory  of  Expediency  and  other 
defective  systems,  and  finally  brings  us  to  Deity  as  the  grand  embodiment  of  all  that  is 
good  in  the  universe.  No  one  can  master  the  system  of  Ethics  here  set  forth  by  Cousin, 
without  feeling  that  it  has  made  him  wiser,  nobler,  and  better. 


History  of  Modern  Philosophy. 

BY  M.  VICTOR  COUSIN.    TRANSLATED  BY"  O.  W.  WIGHT. 
2  vols.    8vo.  801  pages.  Price  $4. 

A  History  of  Philosophy  by  one  who,  like  Victor  Cousin,  is  among  its  brightest  orna- 
ments, wrill  at  once  commend  itself  to  all.  The  treatise  whose  title  is  given  above  is  a 
History  of  Philosophy,  but  not  merely  that ;  for  the  whole  is  pervaded  with  the  spiritual- 
ism of  its  author.  It  gives  a  connected  account  of  Philosophy  from  the  earliest  times  ; 
presents  a  distinct  classification  of  systems  ;  introduces  us  into  the  interior  of  ancient  and 
modern  schools  ;  and  unites  sober  criticism  with  occasional  flights  into  the  higher  regions 
of  metaphysical  analysis.  It  not  only  makes  the  reader  acquainted  with  the  views  that 
have  successively  prevailed  on  Ethics  in  different  lands  and  ages,  but  also  insensibly  imbues 
aim  with  the  elevated  doctrines  of  its  author. 

Cousin's  style  would  serve  as  a  model  for  strength,  precision,  and  finish.  Mr.  Wight's 
translation  has  been  made  with  special  care  to  preserve  the  exact  thought  of  the  original, 
and  to  adhere  as  far  as  possible  to  its  peculiarities  of  expression.  It  is  believed  that  the  me- 
chanical execution  of  the  volumes  will  be  found  not  unworthy  of  their  high  literary  merit.

Philosophy  of  Sir  William  Hamilton. 

EDITED  BY  O.  W.  WIGHT. 
8vo.  530  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

This  volume  contains  6uch  of  the  writings  of  Sir  William  Hamilton  as  bear  on  Meta- 
physics systematically  arranged,  so  as  to  present  the  clearest  exposition  of  the  author's 
principles,  and  lead  the  student  from  point  to  point  with  the  least  difficulty  and  greatest 
profit  to  himself.  It  need  hardly  he  said  that  Sir  William  Hamilton  ranks  among  the  most 
eminent  of  modern  philosophers  ;  his  system  is  worthy  of  the  attention  of  educators,  not 
only  by  reason  of  its  soundness,  profundity,  and  erudition,  its  spirit  of  free  inquiry  and 
power  of  quickening  the  mind,  but  also  on  account  of  its  entire  accordance  with  the  prin- 
ciples of  revealed  religion. 

Among  the  chief  points  considered  by  the  author  are  :  the  Philosophy  of  Common  Sense, 
and  its  universality  from  the  dawn  of  speculation  ;  the  Philosophy  of  Perception  ;  Present- 
ative  and  Representative  Knowledge  ;  Distinction  of  the  Primary  and  Secondary  Qualities 
of  Body ;  Sensation  ;  the  Philosophy  of  the  Conditioned  ;  the  Limitations  of  Thought  and 
Knowledge.  When  one  of  the  great  minds  of  the  age  devotes  itself  to  the  elucidation  ot 
momentous  themes  like  these,  an  intellectual  treat  may  be  anticipated  by  the  thinker ; 
such  a  treat  is  offered  him  in  the  present  volume. 

This  American  edition  has  been  issued  in  handsome  style,  and  a  convenient  form  for  the 
use  of  institutions  of  learning.  It  has  passed  through  the  hands  of  an  accomplished  editor, 
who  has  enhanced  its  value  by  illustrative  foot-notes. 

From  the  Edinburgh  Revieio.  I  predecessors-Keid,  Stuart,  or  Brown.    With  a  re- 

"Sir  "William  Hamilton  has  attained  to  the  very  markable  power  of  analysis  and  discrimination,  he 
highest  distinction  as  a  philosopher,  and  in  some  re-  i  combines  great  decision  and  elegance  of  style,  and  a 
•pects  he  is  decidedly  superior  to  any  of  his  illustrious  |  degree  of  erudition  that  is  almost  without  a  parallel.'*

History  of  Germany, 

FROM  THE  EARLIEST  PERIOD  TO  THE  PRESENT  TIME. 
BY  FREDERICK  KOHLRAUSCH. 
8vo.  487  pages.  Price  $2.50. 

A  complete  and  reliable  history  of  Germany  is  here  for  the  first  time  presented  to  the 
public.  Full  of  national  spirit,  alive  to  the  importance  of  his  subjeet,  and  determined  that 
no  labor  should  be  spared  to  do  it  justice,  the  author  entered  on  his  difficult  task  with  en- 
thusiasm and  achieved  it  with  success.  His  work  is  distinguished  by  clearness  of  narrative, 
rigid  impartiality  as  regards  politics  and  religion,  discriminating  portraitures  of  the  heroes 
that  successively  appear,  and  a  striking  style  in  relating  great  events  that  impresses  them 
distinctly  on  the  mind.  Every  authentic  source  of  information  has  been  thoroughly  ex- 
plored ;  and  the  result  is  a  history  that  must  for  years  be  an  acknowledged  standard  on 
both  sides  of  the  Atlantic. 

The  English  translation  by  James  D.  Haas  is  at  once  easy,  elegant,  and  faithful  to  the 
original  in  style  and  spirit.  A  full  Alphabetical  Index,  appended  to  the  American  edition, 
facilitates  reference,  and  thus  greatly  increases  its  usefulness.

Elements  of  Intellectual  Philosophy, 

BY   REV,   JOSEPH   ALDEN,    33.  13.,  LL.D., 

LATE  PEESIDE.NT  OF  JEFFEKSON  COLLEGE, 

1  vol.  12mo.  293  page3.  Price  $1.25. 

This  work  is  from  the  pen  of  one  whom  President  Webster,  of  the  New  York  Free  Acad 
emy,  pronounces  "one  of  the  most  philosophic  and  distinguished  educators  in  this  country;" 
and  William  Cullen  Bryant,  "  one  of  the  ablest  as  well  as  most  experienced  formers  of  the 
youthful  mind  in  this  country."  Rev.  Dr.  Vermilye,  of  the  Collegiate  Dutch  Church,  regards 
him  as  a  teacher  of  philosophy  "unsurpassed,  perhaps  unrivalled."  The  Rev.  Dr.  McKinney, 
Editor  of  the  Presbyterian  Banner,  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  says :  "  As  an  educator,  we  believe  he  has 
nowhere  a  superior." 

The  publishers  judged  that  one  so  successful  in  teaching  would  be  able  to  write  a  good 
text-book  in  the  department  to  which  his  efforts  have  been  specially  directed.  They  accord- 
ingly requested  him  to  prepare  a  work  adapted  to  supply  a  want  widely  felt.  The  result  of 
that  request  is  the  concise,  clear,  comprehensive,  interesting,  and  instructive  work  now  pre- 
sented to  the  public. 


From  the  New  York  Observer. 

"  The  author  very  modestly  remarks  at  the  outset 
that  his  object  is  not  to  teach  a  svstein  of  philoso- 
phy, but  to  aid  the  student  in  studying  subjects 
which  are  adapted  to  promote  fixedness  of  attention 
and  discrimination.  Proceeding  on  the  principle  that 
every  thing  that  is  intelligible  should  be  expressed 
intelligibly,  he  has  avoided  the  use  of  abstruse 
terms.  The  simplicity  with  which  the  propositions 
are  stated  and  the  terms  defined,  renders  the  study  of 
mental  philosophy  as  easy  to  the  vouthful  scholar  as 
any  other  branch  of  education.  We  think  that  the 
author  has  succeeded  in  producing  a  volume  that  is 
a  real  desideratum  in  our  seminaries  and  colleges, 
and  we  call  to  it  the  special  attention  of  teachers." 
From  the  &  &  Times,  edited  by  Prof.  John  S. 
IIart,  LL.  D. 

"  Dr.  Alden  has  the  ability,  and  has  had  the  courage 
to  write  a  small  book  on  a  large  subject.  He  has 
written  in  good  English  where  many  think  it  neces- 
sary to  write  in  bad"  German.  He  has  dared  to  write 
clearly,  where  obscurity  and  mist  are  too  often  taken 
as  indications  of  depth.  We  need  hardly  add,  we 
think  he  has  made  a  good  text-book.  We  know  not 
a  better  one  on  the  subject  of  which  he  treats." 
From  the  New  York  Evening  Post. 

"  We  cannot  say  that  we  know  of  any  treatise  in 
the  language  which  so  luminously  and  familiarly  ex- 
pounds the  first  principle  of  the  science  of  intellectual 
operations,  and  so  divests  it  of  the  appearance  of  ab- 
struseness  and  intricacy,  repelling  to  many  beginners. 

"  It  is  no  commonplace  compilation,  but  the  author 
fias  considered  every  topic  for  himself,  treated  it  in 
his  own  manner,  and  employed  his  own  language,  al- 
ways aiming  to  be  understood,  and  never  forgetting 
the  position  laid  down  in  his  preface,  that  there  is 
'nothing  cognizable  in  philosophy  which  cannot  be 
clearly  expressed  in  good  English.'  We  cheerfully, 
therefore,  recommend  it  to  be  used  as  a  class  book  by 
tostruetors." 


From  the  New  York  Examiner  and  Chronicle. 

"It  is  intended  to  be  a  text-book  for  schools  and 
colleges,  and  few  men  are  better  qualified  than  Dr. 
Alden  to  present  facts  and  principles  in  6imple  and 
impressive  language,  and  so  as  to  awaken  earnest 
thought  in  others.  The  book  contains  the  results 
of  his  own  long  experience  as  a  teacher  in  the  depart- 
ment of  Intellectual  Philosophy,  and  it  is  a  very 
valuable  contribution  to  our  text-book  literature." 

From  the  Round  Table. 
"Dr.  Alden  has  had  a  long  experience  and  much 
success  as  a  teacher  of  intellectual  and  moral  philoso- 
phy, and  in  this  compact  volume  he  exhibits  the 
me"thod  and  results  of  his  instructions  in  a  clear  and 
animated  style.  The  work  is  not  to  be  judged  as  a 
complete  system  of  mental  philosophy,  but  rather  a9 
an  indication  of  the  way  in  which  the  minds  of  the 
pupils  arc  to  be  stimulated  and  guided  when  they 
enter  upon  the  wide  field  of  metaphysical  study. 
The  author  brings  the  student  face  to  face  with  the 
pertinent  and  decisive  questions  ;  and  this  is  the 
value  of  the  book." 

From  the  New  York  Evangelist. 
"  Few  instructors  in  our  country  have  had  so  long 
an  experience  as  the  author  of  this  volume.  This  is 
invaluable  in  fitting  him  to  prepare  a  work  to  be 
used  as  a  text-book  in  our  schools  and  colleges.  The 
teacher,  brought  face  to  face  with  his  pupils,  is  com- 
pelled to  think  clearly  himself,  and  then  to  speak  in- 
telligibly. Technical  phrases  must  be  exchanged  tor 
words  familiar  to  the  common  ear ;  and  long,  rolling 
sentences  for  the  short  Socratic  method  of  question 
and  answer.  The  fruit  of  this  training  is  to  be  seen 
in  the  present  book.  Open  it  anywhere,  and  we  find 
the  direct  form  of  presenting  philosophical  truth.  The 
author  has  endeavored  to  condense  into  a  saaall  vol- 
ume the  results  of  a  life  spent  in  the  business  of  edu- 
cation. In  this  book  he  will  teach  thousands  whom 
he  never  instructed  with  the  living  voice."

Mangnall's  Questions  has  attained  an  enviable  reputation  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic 
as  a  condensed  abstract  of  history,  art,  science,  and  general  information.  It  is  in  the  form 
of  question  and  answer,  and  is  adapted  to  the  higher  classes  in  common  schools  and  acade- 
mies. The  variety  of  subjects  embraced,  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  suitable  text-books 
relating  to  many  of  them,  much  more  of  finding  any  single  work  that  contains  them  all, 
and  the  judgment  displayed  by  the  author  in  selecting  what  is  important,  and  presenting 
great  facts  and  leading  principles  in  a  striking  manner  that  impresses  them  on  the  mind, 
have  gained  for  this  work  an  extensive  and  well-deserved  circulation.  A  careful  revision 
and  the  introduction  of  much  that  is  important  to  the  American  student,  enhance  the 
value  of  the  present  edition.  An  idea  may  be  formed  of  the  extensive  and  important

From  the  Commercial  Advertiser. 
"This  is  an  admirable  work  to  aid  both  teachers  and 
parents  in  instructing  children  and  youth,  and  there  is 
no  work  of  the  kind  that  we  have  seen  that  is  so  well 
calculated  'to  awaken  a  spirit  of  laudable  cariosity 
In  young  minds,'  and  to  satisfy  that  curiosity  when 
awakened." 


From  the  Quarterly  Review. 
'This  seems  to  us  a  rery  useful  book,  containing, 


61 


it  does,  much  information  on  subjects  not  usually  at- 
tended to  in  schools.  Sufficient  information  is  given 
on  the  subject  of  architecture,  for  instance,  to  enable 
the  pupil  to  distinguish  the  different  orders,  and  to 
understand  the  terms  which  he  meets  with  in  read- 
ing. Many  of  the  terms  of  heraldry  occur  in  ordinary 
reading,  which  are  not  understood  for  want  of  such 
information  as  this  book  is  intended  to  give.  A 
similar  remark  may  be  made  in  regard  to  other 
subjects. "

The  Child's  First  History  of  Rome.* 

BY  MISS  E.  M.  SEWELL. 
18mo.  255  pages.  Price  75  cents. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  work  for  the  use  of  children,  the  authoress  has  drawn  her 
material  from  the  most  reliable  sources,  and  incorporated  them  into  a  narrative  at  once 
unostentatious,  perspicuous,  and  graphic,  aiming  to  be  understood  by  those  for  whom  sho 
writes,  and  to  impress  deeply  and  permanently  on  their  minds  the  facts  successively  pre- 
sented. The  entire  work  is  clothed  in  a  style  at  once  pleasing  and  intelligible  to  the 
juvenile  mind ;  and  the  introduction  of  interesting  episodes  tends  to  rivet  the  attention 
and  relieve  the  difficulty  of  memorizing  dry  details. 

Small  as  this  volume  is,  it  covers  the  whole  ground,  from  the  founding  of  the  city  to  its 
destruction  by  the  Northern  barbarians.  A  condensed  sketch  of  the  manners  and  mode 
of  life  of  the  ancient  Romans  is  appended  ;  as,  also,  are  Questions,  for  the  convenience  of 
those  who  desire  them. 


From  the  Christian  Mir  nor. 
"The  author  of  this  work  has  been  very  successful 
in  her  style  of  narration,  as  well  as  gone  to  the  best 
sources  accessible  for  her  facta.  "While  there  is  noth- 
ing liirht  and  trivial  in  her  manner,  there  is  all  the 
vivacity  of  the  most  lively  fireside  story-teller;  and 


those  things,  'of  which  it  is  a  shame  to  speak,'  she 
geta  over  with  great  judgment,  delicacy,  and  tact. 
While  it  is  eminently  a  child's  book,  wo  greatly  mis- 
judge if  it  should  not  prove  a  favorite  with  adults,  es- 
pecially that  class  who  cannot  commaud  time  to  read 
protracted  histories.11 


A  First  History  of  Greece." 

BY  MISS  E.  VM.  SEWELL. 

18mo.  358  pages.  Price  75  cents. 

This  work  is  designed  to  give  the  young  a  clearer  idea  of  Grecian  history  than  is  to  be 
obtained  from  any  of  the  numerous  works  on  the  subject  that  have  been  accumulating 
during  the  present  century.  By  culling  out  prominent  characters  and  events,  presenting 
them  in  a  striking  light,  and  not  making  their  perusal  irksome  by  a  mass  of  minor  details, 
the  authoress  has  rendered  an  important  service  to  the  youth  of  our  country.  With  the 
view  of  removing  the  difficulty  often  encountered  in  the  study  of  Grecian  History,  in  con- 
sequence of  its  involving  events  connected  with  numerous  places,  the  names  of  which  are 
new  and  the  position  of  which  is  unknown,  a  list  of  the  Grecian  states  and  their  chief  cities 
is  presented  in  a  preliminary  chapter.  A  Chronological  Table  of  the  contemporary  events 
of  Grecian  and  Jewish  History  is  appended,  which  will  be  of  use  to  the  Bible  student  as 
well  as  the  general  reader.  Few  books  will  be  found  more  acceptable  in  the  school- room 
than  this. 


From  the  Providence  Journal. 

"Miss  Sewell  is  eminently  successful  in  this  attempt 
to  set  forth  the  history  of  Greece  in  a  manner  suited 
to  the  instruction  of  the  young.  The  chronology  is 
mcid,  the  events  are  well  selected,  and  the  narrative 
is  perspicuous  and  simple.  The  facts  and  the  method 
of  prosecuting  them  are  taken  mainly  from  the  work 
of  Bishop  Thirlwall,  an  excellent  authority,  and  the 
work  as  a  whole  is  the  best  with  which  we  are  ac- 
quainted for  the  use  of  children  in  their  lessons  of 


Grecian  History,  whether  in  the  school-room  or  the 
family  circle." 

From  the  Cincinnati  Daily  Times. 
"  She  has  faithfully  condensed  her  subject,  from  the 
Siege  of  Troy,  b.  c.  1184,  to  the  destruction  of  Corinth, 
and  the  annexation  of  Greece  as  a  province  to  the 
Roman  Empire,  b.  o.  141 ;  forming  a  most  excellent 
outline,  to  be  filled  up  by  the  future  acquisitions  of  the 
reader.  The  chronological  table  of  contemporary 
events  attached,  is  a  valuable  addition."

History  of  Rome. 

BY  DR.  THOMAS  ARNOLD. 
Three  Volumes  in  One.  8vo.  670  pages.  Price  33.00. 

Arnold's  History  of  Rome  is  a  well-known  standard,  no  less  full  and  accurate  than  the 
works  of  Niebuhr  and  Schmitz,  while  it  far  surpasses  them  in  interest.  The  style  is  such  as 
the  subject  requires, — easy,  perspicuous,  dignified,  and  eloquent.  Every  page  glows  with 
that  truth-loving  spirit  for  which  Dr.  Arnold  was  distinguished.  With  him  nothing  is 
taken  for  granted ;  every  statement  is  verified  by  reference  to  the  old  historians.  The 
clear-sighted  judgment  of  the  author  and  his  profound  acquirements  as  a  philologist  and 
critic,  pre-eminently  qualify  him  for  dealing  with  ancient  records,  in  which  truth  and  fable 
are  so  blended  that  it  is  often  exceedingly  difficult  to  distinguish  them.  No  proper  oppor- 
tunity is  lost  of  introducing  sage  reflections  on  morals  and  politics,  and  suggesting  themes 
of  useful  thought  to  the  intelligent  mind. 

As  this  history  is  destined  to  remain  a  standard  for  years,  it  should  have  a  place  in  every 
private  and  public  library.  Its  adaptation  to  the  wants  o'f  high-schools  and  colleges  will 
be  apparent  on  the  most  cursory  examination. 


From  the  Watchman  and  Reflector. 
"  This  history  of  Dr.  Arnold  has  acquired  a  reputa- 
tion that  places  it  in  a  classic  rank.  To  great  intelli- 
gence and  thoroughness  are  added  that  marked  moral 
«ense  and  that  strict  impartiality  which  impart  special 
Talue  to  the  works  of  the  historian. 


From  the  Traveler. 
"Of  the  conscientious  accuracy,  industry,  and  power 
of  mind  which  the  work  evinces— its  clearness,  dignity, 
and  vigor  of  composition — it  would  be  needless  to 
speak.  It  is  eminently  calculated  to  delight  both  the 
student  and  the  miscellaneous  reader  " 


Lectures  on  Modern  History, 

BY  DR.  THOMAS  ARNOLD. 
Large  12mo.  428  pages.   Price  SI. 50. 

In  these  Lectures,  Dr.  Arnold,  confessedly  one  of  the  best  of  modern  historians,  has  pre- 
sented his  views  on  the  subject  of  history  and  its  uses  ;  the  difficulties  a  student  is  likely 
to  encounter,  and  the  best  mode  of  surmounting  them.  His  object  is  to  awaken  an  interest 
in  historical  studies,  and  furnish  the  learner  with  such  general  information  as  will  enablo 
him  to  pursue  his  course  to  the  best  advantage. 

The  present  is  a  reprint  of  the  second  London  edition.  It  is  accompanied  with  a  Preface 
and  Notes  by  Henry  Reed,  M.  A.,  Professor  of  English  Literature  in  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, who  has  had  in  view  its  use  not  only  for  general  reading,  but  also  as  a  text-book 
for  collegiate  classes. 


From  the  Courier  and  Enquirer. 

M  Professor  Reed  has  added  greatly  to  the  worth  and 
Interest  of  the  volume,  by  appending  to  each  Lecture 
•uch  extracts  from  Dr.  Arnold's  other  writings  as 
would  more  fully  illustrate  its  prominent  points.  The 
Notes  and  Appendix  which  he  has  thus  furnished  are 
exceedingly  valuable.    No  student  or  literary  man 


63 


who  has  the  least  regard  for  the  philosophy  of  history 
should  be  without  this  book.  So  far  as  our  knowledge 
extends,  there  is  no  other  before  the  public  which  can 
be  compared  to  it  for  interest  and  permanent  worth.11 

From  the  Evening  Post. 
"These  Lectures  furnish  the  best  possible  infroduc 
tion  to  a  philosophical  study  of  modern  history."

BY  MRS.  MARKKA  M.     REVISED  BY  l  .I.I/  V  BOBBINS, 
12mo.   387  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  work  covers  a  period  from  the  Invasion  of  Julius  Caesar  to  the  reign  of  Victoria, 
containing  questions  adapted  to  the  use  of  schools  in  this  country. 

"  Mrs.  Markham's  History  was  used  by  that  model  for  all  teachers,  the  late  Dr.  Arnold, 
master  of  the  great  English  school  at  Rugby,  and  agrees  in  its  character  with  his  enlight- 
ened and  pious  views  of  teaching  history.  It  is  now  several  years  since  I  adapted  this  his- 
tory to  the  form  and  price  acceptable  in  the  schools  in  the  United  States.  I  have  recently 
revised  it,  and  trust  that  it  may  be  extensively  serviceable  in  education. 

"The  principal  alterations  from  the  original  are  a  new  and  more  convenient  division  of 
paragraphs,  and  entire  omission  of  the  conversations  annexed  to  the  chapters.  In  the  place 
of  these  I  have  affixed  questions  to  every  page,  that  may  at  once  facilitate  the  work  of  the 
teacher  and  the  pupil.  The  rational  and  moral  features  of  this  book  first  commended  itself

History  of  the  Middle  Ages. 

BY  GEORGE  W.  GREENE. 
12mo.  450  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  work  will  be  found  to  contain  a  clear  and  satisfactory  exposition  of  the  revolutions 
of  the  Middle  Ages,  with  such  general  views  of  literature,  society,  and  manners,  as  are  re- 
quired to  explain  the  passages  from  ancient  to  modern  history. 

Instead  of  a  single  list  of  sovereigns,  the  author  has  given  full  genealogical  tables,  which 
are  much  clearer  and  infinitely  more  satisfactory. 


From  the  Providence  Journal. 
"The  work  before  us,  compiled  principally  from  the 
French,  by  Prof.  Greene  of  Brown  University,  is  the 
fruit  of  much  learning  and  research.  It  furnishes  a 
brief  though  clear  and  well-digested  exposition  of  the

to  introduce  the  student  to  an  acquaintance  with  thos<

The  characteristics  of  this  volume  are  precision,  condensation,  and  luminous  arrangement. 
It  is  precisely  what  it  pretends  to  be — a  manual,  a  sure  and  conscientious  guide  for  the 
student  through  the  crooks  and  tangles  of  Mediaeval  History.  All  the  great  principles  of 
this  extensive  period  are  carefully  laid  down,  and  the  most  important  facts  skilfully 
grouped  around  them. 


From  the  Commercial  Advertiser. 
"This  translation  of  a  foreign  school-book  embraces  a 
succinct  and  well-arranged  body  of  facts  concerning 
European  and  Asiatic  history  and  geography  during 
the  Middle  Ages.  It  is  furnished  with  printed  ques- 
tions, and  it  seems  to  be  well  adapted  to  its  purpose, 
in  all  respects.  The  mediaeval  period  is  one  of  the 
most  interesting  in  the  annals  of  the  world,  and  a 


knowledge  of  its  great  men,  and  of  its  progress  in  arts, 
arms,  government,  and  religion,  is  particularly  impor-

12mo.  336  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  volume  completes  the  Series  of  the  author's  works  on  Geography  and  History. 
Every  important  fact  of  the  period,  comprehensive  as  it  is  both  in  Geography  and  History, 
is  presented  in  a  concise  yet  clear  and  connected  manner,  so  as  to  be  of  value,  not  only  as 
a  text-book  for  students,  but  to  the  general  reader  for  reference.  Although  the  facts  are 
greatly  condensed,  as  of  necessity  they  must  be,  yet  they  are  presented  with  so  much  dis- 
tinctness as  to  produce  a  fixed  impression  on  the  mind.  It  is  also  reliable  as  the  work  of 
an  indefatigable  German  scholar,  for  correct  information  relating  to  the  progress  and 
changes  of  States  and  nations,  literature,  the  sciences  and  the  arts,  and  all  that  combines 
in  modern  civilization.  The  portion  relating  to  our  own  continent  has  been  carefully  re- 
vised, so  as  to  free  it  from  mistakes  which  all  foreigners  are  liable  to  make  when  speaking 
of  our  complex  institutions  of  government.  Appended  to  the  work  is  a  chronological 
table,  and  also  an  extended  series  of  questions,  designed  to  facilitate  the  use  of  the  work

ment of  Ancient  Geography,  there  is  much  necessity  of  breaking  up  the  great  masses  of 
knowledge  accumulated  on  the  subject  by  classical  scholars,  and  rendering  the  subject  itself, 
its  general  features,  and  principal  parts,  more  easily  accessible  to  the  student.  Nothing  is 
introduced  into  the  book  but  what  the  student  in  reading  is  constantly  required  to  know. 
The  best  authorities  have  been  consulted,  carefully  compared,  and  freely  used  throughout. 
No  pains  have  been  spared  to  render  the  work  as  correct  as  our  knowledge  of  the  ancient 
world  will  permit.  The  volume  opens  with  a  short  account  of  the  geography  known  to  the 
ancients  at  different  periods,  and  of  the  gradual  extension  of  their  knowledge.  Then  the 
author  begins  with  the  Ancient  Geography  of  Europe — Greece  is  described  iu  ample  detail, 
and  Italy  in  the  same  manner.  Then  follows  all  that  is  known  of  Asia  Minor.  This  consti- 
tutes what  may  be  termed  Classical  Geography — that  portion  of  ancient  geography  which 
the  student  most  constantly  needs  in  the  study  of  classical  authors  To  present  this  properly 
is  the  main  design  of  the  work. 

After  this  the  author  returns  to  Europe — again  to  Asia — and  lastly,  treats  the  Ancient 
Geography  of  Africa.  This  order  seemed  the  most  natural  in  a  work  of  the  kind,  as  it  is 
based  upon  the  relative  importance,  in  classical  authors,  of  those  countries, — the  author  also 
took  upon  this  point  the  advice  of  a  number  of  distinguished  instructors. 

All  the  matter  presented  is  broken  up  into  short  paragraphs,  and  these  are  numbered ; 
and  questions  which  refer  to  the  facts  given  in  these  paragraphs,  and  marked  respectively 
with  the  corresponding  numbers,  are  given  in  the  lower  margin.  This  at  once  assists  the 
pupil  and  the  teacher. 

In  this  work  every  material  division  of  the  ancient  world  is  noted,  and  the  name  of  every 
sea,  lake,  river,  or  town  is  given  ;  in  many  instances,  the  derivation  and  etymology  of  the 
names  is  added.  The  book  is  sufficiently  full  for  every  practical  purpose,  not  only  of  the 
school-room,  but  for  reference  in  a  general  reading  of  ancient  authors.  It  has  a  copious 
index  that  much  enhances  its  value  in  this  respect. 
From  the  Philadelphia  Lutheran. 
"  It  is  characterized  by  convenience  of  arrange- 
ment, clearness  of  statement,  and  fulness  without 
superfluity.  With  what  is  fully  geographical,  it  con- 
nects the  historical,  mythological,  legendary  and 
literary  matter  which  gives  interest  to  the  geogra- 
phy, and  is  at  the  same  time  illustrated  by  it.  The 
best  sources  have  been  wrought  by  one  who  knew 
how  to  use  them,  and  the  result  has  been  the  very 
best  book  of  its  kind  in  the  English  language." 


From  the  Baltimore  Dispatch. 
We  have  glanced  over  this  book  sufficiently  to

From  the  Recorder. 
"  This  very  satisfactory  work  makes  a  valuable 
addition  to  the  library  of  the  classical  student,  and 
also  to  the  series  of  text-books  to  be  used  during  the 
course  of  academical  and  collegiate  study.'' 

From  the  Presbyterian  Banner. 
"  A  convenient  and  reliable  text-book  on  ancient

ANCIENT  HISTORY,  Separately,  358  pages,  Si. 50. 
Containing  the  Political  History,  Geographical  Position,  and  Social  State  of  the  principal 
Nations  of  Antiquity,  carefully  digested  from  the  ancient  writers,  and  illustrated  by  tho 
discoveries  of  modern  scholars  and  travellers. 

MODERN  HISTORY,  Separately,  312  pages,  $1.50. 
Containing  the  Rise  and  Progress  of  the  principal  European  Nations,  their  Political  His- 
tory, and  the  changes  in  their  Social  Condition  ;  with  a  History  of  the  Colonies  founded  by 
Europeans. 

Inquiry  is  often  made  by  those  who  have  not  the  time  or  opportunity  for  an  extended 
course  of  historical  reading,  for  a  work  that  embraces  within  reasonable  compass  the  lead 
ing  events  of  Ancient  and  Modern  History,  and  will  give  them  a  correct  idea  of  its  leading 
features  stripped  of  unimportant  details.  Such  a  work  will  be  found  in  this  compilation  of 
Dr.  Taylor.  With  the  view  of  bringing  a  general  knowledge  of  the  past  within  the  reach 
of  all  classes  of  readers,  he  has  selected  the  great  facts  connected  with  the  rise  and  progress 
of  nations,  their  customs,  religion,  and  political  institutions,  and  carefully  digested  them 
in  a  clear  and  comprehensive  summary. 

For  the  purposes  for  which  it  is  designed,  it  is  believed  that  this  work  has  no  equal.  It 
is  this  conviction  on  the  part  of  those  who  have  examined  it,  that  has  led  to  its  extensive 
introduction  as  a  text-book  into  the  academies  and  colleges  of  our  land.  Some  of  its  dis- 
tinguishing features  are  mentioned  below. 

In  presenting  facts,  the  author  has  not  overlooked  the  philosophy  of  history,  but  has 
traced  events  to  their  causes,  and  directed  attention  to  the  progress  of  civilization  and  its 
effects  on  society.  Thus  exhibited  in  their  connection,  as  parts  of  the  great  plan  of  Provi- 
dence in  the  government  of  the  world,  events  are  understood  as  well  as  remembered,  and 
the  reader  receives  a  no  less  valuable  lesson  in  philosophy  than  in  history. 

A  knowledge  of  its  climate,  natural  features,  towns  and  cities,  is  often  essential  to  the 
proper  understanding  of  a  country's  history.  To  meet  this  want,  a  brief  geographical  out- 
lihe  is  in  every  case  prefixed.  The  accentuation  of  proper  names,  as  they  occur,  is  another 
feature  of  great  practical  value. 

The  arrangement  (always  a  thing  of  prime  importance  in  works  of  this  kind)  has  been 
carefully  studied.  The  histories  of  separate  countries  are  presented  separately  ;  but  chro- 
nological sequence  is  observed  as  far  as  possible,  by  arranging  them  in  the  order  in  whicn 
they  attained  a  commanding  influence  in  the  world.  It  may  be  added  that  the  annals  of 
minor  States,  overlooked  by  most  writers,  receive  due  attention  from  Dr.  Taylor,  who  may 
thus  justly  claim  superior  completeness. 

Dryness  is  generally  characteristic  of  condensed  historical  outlines  ;  in  the  present  case  it 
is  avoided  by  the  vigorous  style  of  the  author,  and  the  introduction  of  interesting  anecdotes 
and  episodes  that  serve  to  relieve  the  mind,  and  bring  out  in.  clear  light  the  peculiarities 
of  individual  or  national  character. 

The  American  edition  has  been  revised  throughout  by  Dr.  Henry,  and  enlarged  by  tho 
introduction  of  an  admirable  chapter  on  American  History.

A  DIGEST  OF  THE  LAWS,  CUSTOMS,  MANNERS,  AND  INSTITUTIONS 

OF  THE 

Ancient  and  Modern  Nations. 

BY  THOMAS  DEW, 

LATE  PRESIDENT  OF  THE  COLLEGE  OF  WILLIAM  AND  MARY. 

8vo.  662  pages.  Price  $2.50. 

On  examination,  it  will  be  found  that  more  than  ordinary  labor  has  been  expended  upon 
this  work,  and  that  the  author  has  proceeded  upon  higher  principles  and  has  had  higher 
aims  in  view  than  historical  compilers  ordinarily  propose  to  themselves.  Instead  of  being 
%  mere  catalogue  of  events,  chronologically  arranged,  it  is  a  careful,  laborious,  and  instruc- 
tive digest  of  the  laws,  customs,  manners,  institutions,  and  civilization  of  Ancient  and 
Modern  Nations.  That  it  is  thus  enabled  to  give  a  clearer  and  fairer  idea  of  the  past  and 
its  relations  to  the  present,  does  not  admit  of  a  moment's  doubt. 

No  pains  have  been  spared  by  the  author  to  secure  accuracy  in  facts  and  figures  ;  and  in 
doubtful  cases  references  are  given  in  parentheses,  so  that  the  student  can  readily  satisfy 
himself  by  going  to  original  sources.  The  department  of  Modern  History,  too  often  neg- 
lected in  works  of  this  kind,  has  received  special  care  and  attention. 

For  a  digest  of  history  prepared  on  these  principles,  it  is  believed  that  a  demand  exists 
in  our  schools  and  colleges,  and  it  was  to  meet  this  demand  that  the  present  volume  was 
presented  to  the  public.  The  teacher  will  find  in  it  a  desirable  substitute  for  many  of  the 
text-books  now  in  use  ;  the  historical  lecturer,  a  superior  manual  to  be  placed  in  the  stu- 
dent's hands  as  a  companion  and  basis  for  his  lectures  ;  and  the  general  reader,  a  compre- 
hensive, accurate,  and  interesting  compilation. 


From  John  J.  Owen,  Prof,  in  N".  T.  Free  Academy. 

"  I  have  examined,  'with  much  pleasure,  Prof.  Dew's 
Digest  of  the  Laws,  Manners,  Customs,  &c.,of  Ancient 
and  Modern  Nations.  It  furnishes  a  desideratum  in 
the  study  of  history  which  I  have  long  desired  to  see. 
The  manner  in  which  history  is  generally  studied  in 
our  institutions  of  learning  is,  in  my  judgment,  very 
defective.  The  great  central  points  or  epochs  of  history 
are  not  made  to  stand  out  with  sufficient  prominence. 
Events  of  minor  importance  are  made  to  embarrass  the 
memory  by  the  confused  method  of  their  presentation 
to  the  mind.  History  is  studied  by  pages,  and  not  by 
subjects.  In  the  wilderness  of  events  through  which 
the  student  is  groping  his  way,  he  soon  becomes  lost 


and  perplexed.  The  past  is  as  obscure  as  the  future 
His  lesson  soon  becomes  an  irksome  task.  The  mem- 
ory is  wearied  with  the  monotonous  task  of  striving  to 
retain  the  multitudinous  events  of  each  daily  lesson. 

"  This  evil  appears  to  be  remedied  in  a  great  degree 
by  Prof.  Dew's  admirable  arrangement.  Around  the 
great  points  of  history  he  has  grouped  those  of  subor- 
dinate importance.  Each  section  is  introduced  by  a 
caption,  in  which  the  subject  is  briefly  stated,  and  so 
as  to  be  easily  remembered.  Thus  the  student  having 
mastered  the  leading  events,  will  find  little  or  no  diffi- 
culty in  treasuring  up  the  minor  points  in  their  order 
and  connection.  I  trust  the  book  will  be  adopted  in 
our  higher  institutions  of  learning.  I  greatly  prefer  it 
to  any  history  for  the  use  of  schools  which  I  have  seen  "

Arnold's  Classical  Scries  has  attained  a  circulation  almost  unparalleled,  having  heen  in- 
troduced into  nearly  all  the  leading  educational  institutions  in  the  United  States.  The 
secret  of  this  success  is,  that  the  author  has  hit  upon  the  true  system  of  teaching  the  an- 
cient languages.  He  exhibits  them  not  as  dead,  hut  as  living  tongues,  and  hy  imitation 
and  repetition,  the  means  which  nature  herself  points  out  to  the  child  learning  his  mother- 
tongue,  he  familiarizes  the  student  with  the  idioms  employed  hy  the  elegant  writers  and 
speakers  of  antiquity. 

The  First  and  Second  Latin  Book  should  he  put  in  the  hands  of  the  beginner,  who  will 
soon  acquire  from  its  pages  a  better  idea  of  the  language  than  could  be  gained  hy  months 
of  study  according  to  the  old  system.  The  reason  of  this  is,  that  every  thing  has  a  practical 
hearing,  and  a  principle  is  no  sooner  learned  than  it  is  applied.  The  pupil  is  at  once  set  to 
work  on  exercises. 

The  Prose  Composition  forms  an  excellent  sequel  to  the  above  work,  or  may  be  used  with 
any  other  course.  It  teaches  the  art  of  writing  Latin  more  correctly  and  thoroughly,  more 
easily  and  pleasantly,  than  any  other  work.  In  its  pages  Latin  synonymes  are  carefully 
illustrated,  differences  of  idiom  noted,  cautions  as  to  common  errors  impressed  on  the 
mind,  and  every  help  afforded  towards  attaining  a  pure  and  flowing  Latin  style. 

From  the  Rev.  Seth  Davis,  Home,  W.  Y. 
"Arnold's  Lessons  in  Latin  I  find  unsurpassed;  and 
if  the  Greek  Lessons  by  the  same  author  shall  prove  as 
useful,  they  will  form  the  commencement  of  a  new  era 
in  the  study  of  the  classics  in  this  country." 

From  N.  Wheeler,  Prime.  Worcester  Co.  High  School. 

"In  the  skill  with  which  he  sets  forth  the  idiomatic 
peculiarities,  as  well  as  in  the  directness  and  simpli- 
city with  which  he  states  the  facts  of  the  ancient  lan- 
guages, Mr.  Arnold  has  no  superior.  I  know  of  no 
books  so  admirably  adapted  to  awaken  an  interest  in 
the  study  of  language,  or  so  well  fitted  to  lay  the  foun- 
dation of  a  correct  scholarship  and  refined  taste." 

From  A.  B.  Exjssell,  Oakland  High  ScJiool. 
"  The  style  in  which  the  books  are  got  up  is  not  their 
only  recommendation.   "With  thorough  instruction  on 
the  part  of  the  teacher  using  these  books  as  text-books, 
[  am  confident  a  much  more  ample  return  for  the  time 
jnd  labor  bestowed  by  our  youth  upon  Latin  must  be 
Becured.   The  time  certainly  has  come  when  an  ad-  i 
vance  must  be  made  upon  the  old  methods  of  instruc-  j 
tion.    I  am  glad  to  have  a  work  that  promises  so  many  ; 


advantages  as  Arnold',

First  and  Second  Latin  Book 


Extract  from  a  Report  of  an  Examination  ofths 
Parochial  School  of  St.  Pauls  Church,  Pome,  X.  Y. 

""Were  we  to  single  out  any  part  of  the  examination 
as  worthy  of  special  notice,  it  would  be  that  upon 
'Arnold's  First  Book  in  Latin.'  Many  an  academician 
who  has  studied  Latin  in  the  ordinary  way  for  two 
years,  could  not  sustain  an  examination  as  did  the  lads 
of  this  class,  who  have  studied  Arnold's  First  Lesson3 
only  about  six  months.  Arnold's  method  is  admira- 
ble for  making  thorough  scholars  and  accurate  gram- 
marians." 

From  C.  M.  Blake.  Classical  Teacher,  PhVad. 
"I  am  much  pleased  with  Arnold's  Latin  Books.  A 
class  of  my  older  boys  have  just  finished  the  First  and 
Second  Books.  They  had  studied  Latin  for  a  long  time 
before,  but  never  understood  it,  they  say,  as  they  do 
now." 

From  L  Booth,  Supt.  of  Union  School,  Bucyrus,  0. 

"Perhaps  the  most  satisfactory  recommendation  1 
can  give  of  Arnold's  Classical  Series  is,  that,  after  using 
the  Series  for  nearly  two  years,  I  shall  continue  to  use 
it,  ii  preference  to  all  other  books  with  which  I  am 
acquainted  professing  to  fill  the  same  space  in  a  classi- 
cal education."

Germania    and  Agricola

PROFESSOR  OF  THE  GREEK  AN"D  LATLV  LANGUAGES  EN'  AMHERST  COLLEGE. 

12mo.  193  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

Tacitus's  account  of  Germany  and  Life  of  Agricola  are  among  the  most  fascinating  and  in- 
structive Latin  classics.  The  present  edition  has  been  prepared  expressly  for  college  classes, 
by  one  who  knows  what  they  need.  It  will  be  found — 1.  A  Latin  text,  approved  by  all  the 
more  recent  editors.  2.  A  copious  illustration  of  the  grammatical  constructions,  as  well  as  of 
the  rhetorical  and  poetical  usages  peculiar  to  Tacitus.  In  a  writer  so  concise,  it  has  been 
deemed  necessary  to  pay  particular  regard  to  the  connection  of  thought,  and  to  the  particles 
as  the  hinges  of  that  connection.  3.  Constant  comparisons  of  the  writer  with  the  authors  of 
the  Augustan  age,  for  the  purpose  of  indicating  the  changes  which  had  already  been  wrought

WITH  XOTES,   FOR  COLLEGES. 
B  Y    W.    S.  TYLER. 
12mo.  453  pages.  Price  $1.75. 

The  text  of  Tacitus  is  here  presented  in  a  form  as  correct  as  a  comparison  of  the  best 
editions  can  make  it.  Xotes  are  appended  for  the  student's  use,  which  contain  not  only  the 
grammatical,  but  likewise  all  the  geographical,  archaeological,  and  historical  illustrations 
that  are  necessary  to  render  the  author  intelligible.  It  has  been  the  constant  aim  of  the 
editor  to  carry  students  beyond  the  dry  details  of  grammar  and  lexicography,  and  introduce 
them  into  a  familier  acquaintance  and  lively  sympathy  with  the  author  and  his  times.  In- 
dexes to  the  notes,  and  to  the  names  of  persons  and  places,  render  reference  easy.

The  text  of  this  edition  is  mainly  that  of  Orelli,  the  most  important  readings  of  other 
critics  being  given  in  foot-notes.  The  volume  is  introduced  by  a  biographical  sketch  of 
Horace  and  a  critique  on  his  writings,  which  enable  the  student  to  enter  intelligently  on  his 
work.  Peculiar  grammatical  constructions,  as  well  as  geographical  and  historical  allusions, 
are  explained  in  notes,  which  are  just  full  enough  to  aid  the  pupil,  to  excite  him  to  gain  a 
thorough  understanding  of  the  author,  and  awaken  in  him  a  taste  for  philological  studies, 
without  taking  all  labor  off  his  hands.

SALLUST'S 

Jugurtha  and  Catiline.* 

WITH  NOTES  AND  A  VOCABULARY. 
BY  NOBLE  BUTLER  AND  MINARD  STURGUS. 
12mo.  397  pages.  Price  $1.75. 

The  editors  have  spent  a  vast  amount  of  time  and  labor  in  correcting  the  text,  by  a 
comparison  of  the  most  improved  German  and  English  editions.  It  is  believed  that  this 
will  be  found  superior  to  any  edition  hitherto  published  in  this  country.  In  accordance 
with  their  chronological  order,  the  "Jugurtha"  precedes  the  "  Catiline."  The  Notes  are 
copious  and  tersely  expressed  ;  they  display  not  only  fine  scholarship,  but  (what  is  quite  as 
necessary  in  such  a  book)  a  practical  knowledge  of  the  difficulties  which  the  student  en- 
counters in  reading  this  author,  and  the  aids  that  he  requires.  The  Vocabulary  was  pre- 
pared by  the  late  Wm.  II.  G.  Butler.    It  will  be  found  an  able  and  faithful  performance. 


From  JonN  Kendrick,  Prof,  of  Greek  and  Latin 
in  Marietta  (0.)  College. 
"I  assuro  you,  I  am  much  pleased  with  the  Sal- 
lust.  It  is  one  of  the  most  complete  editions  of  a 
classic  author  I  have  overseen.  The  type  is  admira- 
ble. The  Dictionary  and  the  Notes  embrace  all  the 
information  requisite  for  an  intelligent  and  satisfac- 
tory perusal  of  Sallust.  You  have  done  for  Sallust 
what  I  wish  to  see  done  for  every  school  edition  of 
the  classics.  You  have  made  the  study  of  the  book 
dependent  on  nothing  outside  of  it,  except  the  gen- 
eral histories." 

From  Jons  J.  Owen,  D.  D.,  Keio  York  Free 
Academy. 

"  It  is  really  a  beautiful  book,  both  externally  and 
internally.  It  bears  unmistakable  evidence  of  great 
care,  research,  and  scholarship.  It  is,  I  think,  decid- 
edly in  advance  of  any  other  American  edition,  so  far 
as  I  have  had  leisure  to  examine  it.  You  seem  to 
have  hit  upon  the  happy  medium  between  dryness 
and  meagreness  of  annotation,  on  the  one  hand,  and 
exuberance  that  leaves  nothing  for  the  student  to  do, 
on  the  other.  Go  forward ;  I  shall  be  happy  to  aid, 
all  I  am  able,  in  the  circulation  of  whatever  may 
issue  from  your  pen." 

From  Prof.  W.  S.  Tyler,  Amherst  College. 
"  It  has  been  one  of  the  pastimes  of  this  vacation 
to  renew  my  acquaintance  with  the  Jugurthine  "War 
under  your  guidance,  and  it  is  chiefly  owing  to  your 
excellent  notes,  that  I  have  enjoyed,  as  I  never  did 
before,  the  splendid  narration  and  the  eloquent 
speeches  of  the  old  Roman  historian.  You  have  hit 
the  nail  on  the  head.  You  have  shown,  not  only 
learning,  but  what  is,  perhaps,  more  rare,  and  not  less 
essential,  good  judgment  and  common  sense,  in  your 
annotations.    I  admire  your  tact  in  illustrating  an- 


cient history,  by  reference  to  analogous  circumstances 
in  modern  times.  You  enter  into  the  spirit,  as  well 
as  into  the  meaning  of  your  author,  and  havo  done 
much  to  induce  the  same  habit  in  the  student.  I 
have  no  'criticisms'  to  offer  on  your  plan  and  man- 
ner.  They  are  admirable." 

From  Prof.  T.  B.  IIudson,  Oberlin  (<9.)  College. 

"  I  am  greatly  pleased  with  this  edition  of  the  Lat- 
in 'Thucydidcs.1  The  book  is  a  good  ono  every 
way — well  printed,  well  bound,  and,  best  of  all,  well 
edited.  I  am  glad  that  the  grammatical  references 
are  mainly  to  our  American  grammarians,  Andrews 
and  Stoddard." 

From  Rev.  Alex.  Young,  D.  D.,  Prof.  Sac.  Lit 
United  Presb.  Theol.  Sem.,  Monmouth,  III. 

"The  Notes  give  evidence  of  research  and  care, 
and,  in  the  too  general  scarcity  of  standard  works  of 
reference,  are  admirably  suited  to  illustrate  the  spirit 
of  the  text." 

From  Rev.  E.  D.  Macmastee,  D.  D.,  Prof,  of  Tlieol- 
ogy  in  New  Albany  (Ind.)  Theol.  Sem. 
"The  Notes  appear  to  me  to  be  characterized  by 
excellent  discrimination  and  good  judgment,  evinc- 
ing not  only  scholarship,  but  an  appreciation  of  what 
precisely  is  needed  in  a  school-book,  rarely  possessed 
except  by  the  experienced  instructor.  Altogether,  it 
is  an  excellent  edition." 

From  the  Princeton  Review. 
"  An  excellent  school  edition.  The  Notes  observe 
a  judicious  medium  between  an  indulgent  copious- 
ness and  tantalizing  brevity.  The  work  is  got  up  >.i 
good  style,  and  is  every  way  creditable  to  the  schol- 
arship of  the  learned  editors."

Virgil's  ^neid: 


WITH  EXPLANATORY  NOTES. 

BY  HENRY  S.  FRIEZE, 

PEOFESSOE   OF   LATIN   IN   THE  STATE   UNIVERSITY  OF  MICHIGAN. 

12mo.  598  pages,  85  Engravings.  $2.00. 

The  appearance  of. this  edition  of  Virgil's  JEneid  will,  it  is  believed,  be  hailed  with 
delight  by  all  classical  teachers.  Neither  expense  nor  pains  have  been  spared  to  cloth  the 
great  Latin  Epic  in  a  fitting  dress.  The  type  is  unusually  large  and  distinct,  and  errors  in 
the  text,  so  annoying  to  the  learner,  have  been  carefully  avoided.  The  work  contains 
eighty-five  engravings,  which  delineate  the  usages,  costumes,  weapons,  arts,  and  mythology 
of  the  ancients,  with  a  vividness  that  can  be  attained  only  by  pictorial  illustration.  The 
great  feature  of  this  edition  is  the  scholarly  and  judicious  commentary  furnished  in  the 
appended  Notes.  The  author  has  here  endeavored,  not  to  show  his  learning,  but  to  supply 
such  practical  aid  as  will  enable  the  pupil  to  understand  and  appreciate  what  he  reads.  The 
Notes  are  just  full  enough,  thoroughly  explaining  the  most  difficult  passages,  while  they  are 
not  so  extended  as  to  take  all  labor  off  the  pupil's  hands.  Properly  used,  they  can  not  fail 
to  impart  an  intelligent  acquaintance  with  the  syntax  of  the  language.  In  a  word,  this 
work  is  commended  to  teachers  as  the  most  elegant,  accurate,  interesting,  and  practically 
useful  edition  of  the  JSneid  that  has  yet  been  published. 


From  Dr.  John  J.  Owen,  of  X.  Y.  Free  Academy. 

"  I  am  exceedingly  pleased  with  the  external  and 
internal  appearance  of  your  Virgil  and  Greek  Gram- 
mar (by  Hadley).  Both  of  these  books  I  shall  en- 
deavor to  make  use  of  in  the  Free  Academy." 

From  Oliver  G.  Dean,  Principal  of  Susquehanna 
Collegiate  Institute,  (Pa.). 
"  I  cannot  but  believe  that  in  this  work  Professor 
Frieze  has  contributed  materially  to  a  proper  under- 
standing and  appreciation  of  this  immortal  epic." 

From  J.  H.  Patton,  A.M.,  Principal  of  Classical 
School,  Hew  York,  City. 
"  Prof.  Frieze  deserves  the  thanks  of  students  of 
Latin  for  his  edition  of  Virgil's  ^Eneid.  On  difficult 
passages  Prof.  F.  is  as  excellent  as  he  is  judicious  ; 
translating  only  when  it  is  necessary,  and  scarcely 
ever  without  directing  the  mind  of  the  student  to 
those  grammatical  principles  that  will  aid  him,  not 
merely  in  reading  Virgil,  but  other  Latin  poets.  The 
suggestions  scattered  through  the  Notes,  are,  also, 
admirably  adapted  to  lead  the  thoughtful  student  to 
form  habits  of  critical  scholarship.  This  adaptation 
to  tho  wants  of  studious  pupils,  as  I  have  found  by 
using  it,  will  make  this  the  favorite  edition  of  the 
great  Latin  Epic." 

From  S.  H.  Taylor,  Principal  of  Phillips'1  Acade- 
my, Andover,  'Mass. 
u  I  have  received  the  copy  of  your  edition  of  Vir- 
gil's -<Eneid,  which  you  had  the  kindness  to  send 


me.  After  an  examination  of  considerable  care,  I 
am  highly  gratified  with  the.  work.  You  have  been 
singularly  successful  in  giving  the  student  the  right 
kind  of  assistance.  The  Notes  are  clear  and  concise, 
and  touch  on  tho  right  topics.  The  frequent  refer- 
ences to  tho  Grammar,  tho  remarks  elucidating 
the  connection  of  thought,  and  the  illustrative  cuts, 
are  all  happy  features  of  the  work.  TVe  shall  use 
it  as  a  text-book  in  our  school.  The  mechanical 
execution  is  a  feast  to  the  eyes.  Allow  me  to 
express  my  thanks  to  you  for  having  made  so 
valuable  a  contribution  for  the  study  of  classical 
literature." 

From  Herman  H.  Sanford,  Principal  of  Cortland 
(V.  Y.)  Academy. 

"  In  the  examination  of  the  work  I  am  very  hap- 
pily disappointed.  First,  the  typography  is  enough 
to  make  weak  eyes  sparkle  with  delight,  and  the 
notes  come  nearer  what  I  had  hoped  to  see  than  I  had 
of  late  years  expected  to  have  realized.  They  are  upon 
the  more  difficult  words,  and  are  clear,  concise,  and 
judicious ;  the  heavier  type  enables  the  student  to 
see  them  at  a  glance.  The  running  sketch  of  th« 
history  is  also  a  very  acceptable  addition." 

From  John  H.  Bbunner,  Pres.  Hiwassee  Coll. 

"  The  typography,  paper,  and  binding  of  Virgil's 
^Eneid,  by  Prof.  Frieze,  are  all  that  need  be  desired  ; 
while  the  learned  and  judicious  notes  appended,  ara 
very  valuable  indeed."

Select  Orations  of  M.  Tullius  Cicero. 

"WITH  NOTES,  FOPw  THE  USE  OF  SCHOOLS  AND  COLLEGES. 

BY  E.  A.  JOHNSON, 

PROFESSOR  OF  LATIN  IX  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 

12mo.  459  pages.   Price  $1.50. 

This  edition  of  Cicero's  Select  Orations  possesses  some  special  advantages  for  the  student 
which  are  both  new  and  important.  It  is  the  only  edition  which  contains  the  improved 
text  that  has  been  prepared  by  a  recent  careful  collation  and  correct  deciphering  of  the 
best  manuscripts  of  Cicero's  writings.  It  is  the  work  of  the  celebrated  Orelli,  Madvig, 
and  Klotz,  and  has  been  done  since  the  appearance  of  Orelli' s  complete  edition.  The 
Notes,  by  Professor  Johnson,  of  the  New  York  University,  have  been  mostly  selected,  with 
great  care,  from  the  best  German  authors,  as  well  as  the  English  edition  of  Arnold. 


From  Thomas  Chase,  Tutor  in  Latin  in  Harvard 
University. 

"  An  edition  of  Cicero  like  Johnson's  has  long  been 
wanted ;  and  the  excellence  of  the  text,  the  illustra- 
tions of  words,  particles,  and  pronouns,  and  the  ex- 
planation of  various  points  of  construction  and  inter- 
pretation, bear  witness  to  the  Editor's  familiarity  with 
some  of  the  most  important  results  of  modern  schol- 
arship, and  entitle  his  work  to  a  large  share  of  public 
favor." 


From  the  Troy  Daily  Wltig. 
"It  seems  to  us  an  improvement  upon  any  edition 
of  these  orations  that  has  been  published  in  this  coun- 
try, and  will  be  found  a  valuable  aid  in  their  studies  to 
the  lovers  of  classical  literature." 

From  the  Bangor  Mercury. 
"The  Notes  are  full,  scholarly,  and  replete  with

BY  THOMAS  A.  THACHER, 

OF  YALE  COLLEGE. 

12mo.  194  pages.       Price  Si. 2D. 

In  this  edition,  a  few  historical  notes  have  been  introduced  in  cases  where  the  Diction- 
aries in  common  use  have  not  been  found  to  contain  the  desired  information  ;  the  design 
of  which  is  to  aid  the  learner  in  understanding  the  contents  of  the  treatises,  the  thoughts 
and  reasoning  of  the  author,  to  explain  grammatical  difficulties,  and  inculcate  a  knowledge 
of  grammatical  principles.  The  Editor  has  aimed  throughout  to  guide  rather  than  carry 
the  learner  through  difficulties  ;  requiring  of  him  more  study,  in  consequence  of  his  help, 
than  he  would  have  devoted  to  the  book  without  it. 

From  M.  L.  Stoever,  Professor  of  the  Latin  Lan- 
guage and  Literature  in  Penn.  College. 
"I  have  examined  with  much  pleasure  Prof.  Thach- 
er's  edition  of  Cicero  de  Officiis,  and  am  convinced  of 
ts  excellence.  The  Notes  have  been  prepared  with 
great  care  and  good  judgment  Practical  knowledge 
of  the  wants  of  the  student  has  enabled  the  Editor  to 
furnish  just  the  kind  of  assistance  required ;  grammat- 
ical difficulties  are  removed,  and  the  obscurities  of 
the  treatise  are  explained,  the  interest  of  the  learner  is 
•lloited,  and  his  industry  directed  rather  than  super- 


seded. There  can  be  but  one  opinion  with  regard  to 
the  merits  of  the  work,  and  I  trust  that  Professor 
Thacher  will  be  disposed  to  continue  his  labors  so 
carefully  commenced,  in  this  department  of  classical 
learning."

The  publishers  believe  that  in  this  edition  of  Livy  a  want  is  supplied  which  has  been 
universally  felt,  there  being  previous  to  this  no  American  edition  furnished  with  the  requi- 
site aids  for  the  successful  study  of  this  Latin  author.  The  text  is  chiefly  that  of  Alschef- 
ski,  which  is  now  generally  received  by  the  best  critics.  The  notes  have  been  prepared 
with  special  reference  to  the  grammatical  study  of  the  language  and  the  illustration  of  its 
forms,  constructions,  and  idioms  as  used  by  Livy.  They  will  not  be  found  to  foster  habits 
of  dependence  in  the  student,  by  supplying  indiscriminate  translation  or  unnecessary  assist- 
ance ;  but  come  to  his  help  only  in  such  parts  as  it  is  fair  to  suppose  he  cannot  master  by 
his  own  exertions.  They  also  embrace  all  necessary  information  relating  to  history,  geog- 
raphy, and  antiquities. 

Lincoln's  Livy  has  been  highly  commended  by  critics,  and  is  used  in  nearly  all  the  col-

The  now  acknowledged  propriety  of  giving  students  of  languages  familiar  works  for 
translation — thus  adopting  in  the  schools  the  mode  by  which  the  child  first  learns  to  talk 
— has  induced  the  publication  of  this  new  American  edition  of  Beza's  Latin  Version  of  the 
New  Testament.  Ever  since  its  first  appearance,  this  work  has  kept  its  place  in  the  gen- 
eral esteem ;  while  more  recent  versions  have  been  so  strongly  tinged  with  the  peculiar 
views  of  the  translators  as  to  make  them  acceptable  to  particular  classes  only.  The  editor 
has  exerted  himself  to  render  the  present  edition  worthy  of  patronage  by  its  superior  S0CU-

Caesar's  Commentaries  on  the  Gallic  War. 

WITH  ENGLISH  NOTES,  CRITICAL  AND  EXPLANATORY ;  A  LEXICON,  GEOGRAPHICAL  AND 
HISTORICAL  INDEXES,  A  MAP  OF  GAUL,  &c. 

BY  REV.  J.  A.  SPENCER,  D.  D. 

12mo.  408  pages.  Price  Si. 50. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  volume,  great  care  has  heen  taken  to  adapt  it  in  every  respect 
to  the  wants  of  the  young  student,  to  make  it  a  means  at  the  same  time  of  advancing  him 
in  a  thorough  knowledge  of  Latin,  and  inspiring  him  with  a  desire  for  further  acquaintance 
with  the  classics  of  the  language.  Dr.  Spencer  has  not,  like  some  commentators,  given  an 
abundance  of  help  on  the  easy  passages,  and  allowed  the  difficult  ones  to  speak  for  them- 
selves. His  notes  are  on  those  parts  on  which  the  pupil  wants  them,  and  explain,  not  only 
grammatical  difficulties,  but  allusions  of  every  kind  in  the  text.  A  well-drawn  sketch  of 
Caesar's  life,  a  map  of  the  region  in  which  his  campaigns  were  carried  on,  and  a  Vocabu- 
lary, which  removes  the  necessity  of  using  a  large  dictionary  and  the  waste  of  time  conse- 
quent thereon,  enhance  the  value  of  the  volume  in  no  small  degree. 


From  the  Providence  Journal. 
"  The  press  of  Messrs.  Appleton  is  becoming  prolific 
of  superior  editions  of  the  classics  used  in  schools,  and 
the  volume  now  before  us  we  are  disposed  to  regard 
as  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  highly  finished  among 
them  all,  both  in  its  editing  and  its  execution.  It  ap- 
pears to  be  admirably  suited  to  the  purpose  for  which 
It  was  designed." 

From  the  Southern  Clirislian  Observer. 
41  The  notes  are  judicious,  and  furnish  valuable  helps 


to  the  learner.  The  book  is  printed  in  beautiful  style, 
and  will  no  doubt  be  a  favorite  with  teachers  as  well 
as  students.'" 

From  the  Baltimore  Patriot. 

"A  lexicon  contained  within  the  book,  and  compiled 
with  especial  reference-  to  tbe  text;  a  condensed  his- 
torical index;  maps,  plates,  clear  print,  and  strong 
binding,  fill  the  requisites  for  an  unexceptionable 
class-book." 


Quintus  Curtius: 

LIFE  AND  EXPLOITS  OF  ALEXANDER  THE  GREAT. 

EDITED,  AND  ILLUSTRATED  WITH  ENGLISH  NOTES, 

BY  WM.  HENRY  CROSBY. 

12mo.  385  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

Curtius'  History  of  Alexander  the  Great,  though  little  used  in  the  schools  of  this  country, 
in  England  and  on  the  Continent  holds  a  high  place  in  the  estimation  of  classical  instruc- 
tors. The  interesting  character  of  its  subject,  the  elegance  of  its  style,  and  the  purity  of  its 
moral  sentiments,  ought  to  place  it  at  least  on  a  par  with  Caesar's  Commentaries  or  Sallust'a 
Histories.  The  present  edition,  by  the  late  Professor  of  Latin  in  Kutgers  College,  is  unex 
ceptionable  in  typography,  convenient  in  form,  scholarly  and  practical  in  its  notes,  and 
altogether  an  admirable  text-book  for  classes  preparing  for  college. 


From  Prof.  Owen,  of  the  N.  Y.  Free  Academy. 

"  It  gives  mo  great  pleasure  to  add  my  testimonial 
to  the  many  you  are  receiving,  in  favor  of  the  beautiful 
und  well-edited  edition  of  Quintus  Curtius,  by  Prof. 
Wm.  Henry  Crosby.  It  is  seldom  that  a  classical  book 
1b  submitted  to  me  for  examination,  to  which  I  can 


give  so  hearty  a  recommendation  as  to  this.  Tbe  ex 
ternal  appearance  is  attractive;  the  paper,  type,  and 
binding  being  just  what  a  text-book  should  be,  neat, 
clean,  and  durable.  The  notes  are  brief,  pertinent, 
scholarlike,  neither  too  exuberant  nor  too  meagre,  but 
happily  exemplifying  the  golden  mean  so  desirable  and 
yet  so  verv  difficult  of  attainment."

A  PIRST  GREEK  BOOK,  comprising  an  Outline  of  Grammar  and  an  Introductory 
Reader.    Price,  $1.50. 

This  series  has  received  the  unqualified  commendation  of  many  of  the  most  eminent 
classical  professors  and  teachers  in  our  country,  and  is  already  in  use  in  every  State  of  the 
Union,  and,  indeed,  in  nearly  all  our  leading  classical  institutions  of  every  grade,  both  of 
school  and  college.  Each  volume  has  been  received  with  a  degree  of  enthusiasm  unsur- 
passed in  our  experience  with  text-books.  The  publication  of  the  series  marks,  it  is  believed, 
an  era  in  the  classical  education  of  our  country.  We  ask  the  attention  of  teachers  to  these 
works,  in  the  conviction  that  they  furnish  a  better  course  of  elementary  classical  instruction 
than  can  elsewhere  be  found  in  our  language. 

The  Latin  Text-Books  in  this  series  may  be  arranged  in  three  distinct  courses,  adapted  to 
the  wants  of  different  schools. 

First,  or  Full  Course. 

1.  Introductory  Latin  Book. 

This  volume,  as  the  name  implies,  is  introductory  to  the  entire  series.  It  is  intended  to 
be  placed  in  the  hands  of  every  beginner  in  Latin,  and  aims  to  furnish  him  the  very  knowledge 

*  The  present  series,  it  will  be  observed,  dispenses  with  the  use  of  the  author's  First  and  Second 
Latin  Books,  published  many  years  ago.

D.  APPLET  ON  &  C 0:8  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


which  he  especially  needs  to  enable  him  to  start  aright  in  his  course.  All  the  grammatical 
portions  of  the  work  are  introduced  in  the  exact  form  and  language  of  the  author's  Gram- 
mar, to  which  it  is  introductory. 

2.  Grammar,  Header,  and  Latin  Composition. 

These  three  works  are  intended  to  be  commenced  in  concert.  The  first  will  accompany 
the  student  throughout  his  whole  course  of  Latin  study ;  the  second  is  introductory  to  Latin 
authors ;  while  the  third  furnishes  a  progressive  series  of  exercises  in  writing  Latin,  so  pre- 
pared as  to  run  parallel  with  the  usual  course  of  reading  in  that  language. 

3.  Caesar,  Grammar,  and  Latin  Composition  continued, 

4.  Cicero,  Grammar,  and  Latin  Composition  continued. 

The  full  course  is  intended  for  all  those  who  are  preparing  for  college,  or  who  hope  to 
maJi/;  any  considerable  proficiency  in  the  Latin  language  and  literature.  It  may,  however,  be 
varied  by  the  substitution  of  the  author's  Elements  of  Latin  Grammar,  in  place  of  the  Gram- 
mar itself,  in  those  schools  where,  for  any  reason,  a  small  manual  is  thought  desirable. 

Second  Course 

1.  Grammar,  Reader,  Latin  Composition. 

2.  Caesar,  Grammar,  and  Latin  Composition  continued. 

3.  Cicero,  Grammar,  and  Latin  Composition  continued. 

This  course  is  the  same  as  the  first,  with  the  omission  of  the  Introductory  Latin  Book, 
and  is  intended  only  for  those  who  are  compelled  to  limit  themselves  to  a  short  preparatory 
course.  Indeed,  even  in  such  cases,  the  author  believes  that  a  term  or  two  spent  on  the  In- 
troductory Book  would  in  the  end  not  only  promote  accuracy  of  scholarship,  but  actually 
save  time.  This  course  may  also  be  varied  by  the  substitution  of  the  Elements  of  Latin 
Grammar  in  place  of  the  Grammar  itself. 

Third  Course. 

1.  Introductory  Latin  Book. 

2.  Elements  of  Latin  Grammar,  Reader. 

3.  Caesar,  Elements  continued. 

This  short  course  is  intended  only  for  those  who,  unable  to  do  more  than  to  master  the 
general  principles  of  the  language,  yet  desire  to  prepare  themselves  by  this  means  to  appre- 
ciate the  idioms  and  etymology  of  their  own  language. 


Harkness's  Introductory  Latin  Book. 

This  work  is  intended  to  furnish  the  pupil  his  first  lessons  in  Latin,  thus  taking  the  place 
of  the  author's  First  Latin  Book,  published  fifteen  years  since,  on  the  basis  of  Dr.  Arnold's 
works.    It  is  at  once  an  Elementary  Drill-Book  on  the  inflections  and  principles  of  the  lan-

D.  APPLET  ON  <b  CO:S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 


Ruage,  and  an  Introduction  to  the  author's  Grammar,  Reader,  and  Latin  Composition.  It 
comprises  a  distinct  outline  of  Latin  Grammar,  Exercises  for  Double  Translation,  Sugges- 
tions to  the  Learner,  Notes,  and  Vocabularies. 

As  an  Elementary  Drill-Book,  it  aims  to  supply  a  want  long  felt  in  our  schools,  to  lighten 
the  burden  of  the  teacher  in  elementary  drill,  and  to  aid  him  in  grounding  his  pupils  in  the 
first  elements  of  the  Latin  language. 

As  an  Introduction  to  the  author's  Grammar,  Reader,  and  Latin  Composition,  it  discusses 
and  illustrates  precisely  those  points  which  are  deemed  most  essential  as  a  preparation  for  the 
course  of  study  presented  in  those  works. 

The  great  objection  to  most  First  Latin  Books,  that  they  fill  the  memory  of  the  pupil  with 
rules  and  statements  which  must,  as  far  as  possible,  be  unlearned  as  soon  as  he  passes  to  his 
Grammar,  is  entirely  obviated  in  this  volume,  as  all  the  grammatical  portions  of  it,  even  to 
the  numbering  of  the  articles,  are  introduced  in  the  exact  form  and  language  of  the  author's 
Grammar.

make  good  Latin  scholars  than  any  others  with

A  Latin  Grammar. 

FOR  SCHOOLS  AND  COLLEGES.    12mo.  $1.76. 
BY  A.  HARKNESS,  PH.  D  . ,  LL.  D  . , 

PROFESSOR  IX  BROWN  UNIVERSITY. 

The  subject  of  Latin  Grammar  is  here  presented  in  a  form  at  once  simple,  attractive,  and 
philosophical.  To  explain  the  general  plan  of  the  work,  the  Publishers  ask  the  attention  of 
teachers  to  the  following  extracts  from  the  Preface : 

1.  This  volume  is  designed  to  present  a  systematic  arrangement  of  the  great  facts  and 
laws  of  the  Latin  language  ;  to  exhibit  not  only  grammatical  forms  and  constructions,  but  also 
those  vital  principles  which  underlie,  control,  and  explain  them. 

2.  Designed  at  once  as  a  text-book  for  the  class-room,  and  a  book  of  reference  in  study, 
it  aims  to  introduce  the  beginner  easily  and  pleasantly  to  the  first  principles  of  the  language, 
and  yet  to  make  adequate  provisions  for  the  wants  of  the  more  advanced  student. 

3.  By  brevity  and  conciseness  in  the  choice  of  phraseology,  and  compactness  in  the  ar- 
rangement of  forms  and  topics,  the  author  has  endeavored  to  compress  within  the  limits  of  a 
convenient  manual  an  amount  of  carefully-selected  grammatical  facts,  which  would  otherwise 
fill  a  much  larger  volume. 

4.  He  has,  moreover,  endeavored  to  present  the  whole  subject  in  the  light  of  modern 
scholarship.  Without  encumbering  his  pages  with  any  unnecessary  discussions,  he  has  aimed 
to  enrich  them  with  the  practical  results  of  the  recent  labors  in  the  field  of  philology. 

5.  Syntax  has  received  in  every  part  special  attention.  An  attempt  has  been  made  to  ex- 
hibit, as  clearly  as  possible,  that  beautiful  system  of  laws  which  the  genius  of  the  language — 
that  highest  of  all  grammatical  authority — has  created  for  itself. 

6.  Topics  which  require  extended  illustration  are  first  presented  in  their  completeness  in 
general  outline,  before  the  separate  points  are  discussed  in  detail.  Thus  a  single  page  often 
foreshadows  all  the  leading  features  of  an  extended  discussion,  imparting  a  completeness  and 
vividness  to  the  impression  of  the  learner,  impossible  under  any  other  treatment. 

7.  Special  care  has  been  taken  to  explain  and  illustrate  with  the  requisite  fulness  all  dif- 
ficult and  intricate  subjects.  The  Subjunctive  Mood — that  severest  trial  of  the  teacher's 
patience — has  been  presented,  it  is  hoped,  in  a  form  at  once  simple  and  comprehensive. 

For  the  information  of  teachers,  the  Publishers  would  add  that  their  editions  of  the  Latin 
Classics  are  already  furnished  with  special  references  to  this  Grammar.

and  colleges  of  this  country." 

Prof.  N.  P.  Seymour,  Western  Reserve  College.

u  Harkness's  Latin  Grammar  is  an  admirable 
work,  and  is  characterized  by  remarkable  clear- 
ness." 

Pres.  M.  B.  Anderson,  LL.  D.,  University  of 
Rochester,  N.  Y. 

"  I  take  pleasure  in  saying  that  in  my  judg- 
ment Prof.  Harkness's  Latin  Grammar  is  the  best 
work  accessible  to  the  American  student,  as  a  guide 
in  acquiring  the  Latin  language." 
Prof.  A.  W.  Tourgie,  Erie  Academy,  Erie,  N.  T.

Grammar  in  our  language;  and,  so  far  as  I  kuow, 
in  any  language." 

Prof.  S.  B.  Kieffkr,  Heidelberg  College,  0.

nary, Newton,  Mass.

our  academies  and  colleges." 

Prof.  G.  A.  Chase,  Louisville  High  School,  Ky. 
"After  an  experience  of  twenty  years  as  an

fully  meets  my  wants  in  the  school-room  than  any 
grammar  published." 

Prof.  F.  A.  March,  Lafayette  College,  Pa. 
"It  is  better  than  any  other  Latin  Grammar 
published  in  this  country,  for  general  drill  in  the 
class-room." 

Pres.  A.  D.  Sandborn,   Northwestern  College, 
Wa&oja,  Mi) oi. 

"  I  seldom  recommend  any  book ;  but  I  must 
say  of  Harkness's  Latin  Grammar,  that  I  never 
saw  its  equal." 

Prof.  L  W.  Allen,  Collegiate  Institute,  Lafayette, 
Jnd. 

"Harkness's  Latin  Grammar  is  a  splendid 
achievement.  It  is  most  admirably  adapted  to 
school  uses — clear,  logical,  concise,  yet  compre- 
hensive." 


.         A.  P.  Stone,  High  School,  Portland,  Me. 

M  As  a  lover  of  the  Latin  language,  I  most  cor- 
dially hail  the  appearance  of  this  Grammar.  I  am 
greatly  delighted  with  it.  From  beginning  to  end 
there  is  in  it  a  perspicuity  that  I  cannot  praise  too 
highly." 

Prof.  M.  B.  Brown,  University  of  Notre  Dame,  Ind. 

"I  do  not  hesitate  to  pronounce  Harkness's 
Latin  Grammar  a  decided  improvement  on  all

Prof.  W.  H.  Young,  Ohio  University,  0. 
"Permit  me  to  give,  unsolicited,  my  unquali-

academic  pupil  and  teacher."

published."

"I  consider  it  an  exceDent  work,  the  best  I 
have  seen." 

Prof.  D.  Steele,  Genesee  College,  N.  7. 
"  I  pronounce  it  a  decided  succes.   The  Syntax 
is  so  well  arranged,  lucid  and  brief,  that  it  is  a 
pleasure  to  read  it." 


Harkness's  Elements  of  Latin  Grammar. 

This  work  is  intended  especially  for  those  who  do  not  contemplate  a  collegiate  course  of 
study,  but  it  may  be  successfully  used  in  any  school  where,  for  special  reasons,  a  small  gram- 
mar is  deemed  desirable.  Many  teachers  prefer  an  elementary  text-book  in  the  class-room, 
provided  it  can  be  properly  supplemented  in  later  study  by  a  more  complete  discussion  of 
the  subject.  But  the  beginner  needs  to  store  his  mind  at  the  outset  with  the  laws  of  the  lan- 
guage in  such  forms  of  statement  as  he  can  carry  with  him  throughout  his  whole  course  of

study.  The  convenience  and  interest  of  the  student  in  this  regard  have  been  carefully  con- 
sulted in  the  preparation  of  this  manual.  All  the  paradigms,  rules,  and  discussions,  have  in 
general  beSn  introduced  in  the  exact  form  and  language  of  the  author's  Grammar,  by  which 
it  may  at  any  time  be  fully  supplemented.  While,  therefore,  in  many  schools  this  work  will 
be  found  a  sufficient  Latin  Grammar,  it  may  be  used  in  others,  at  the  pleasure  of  the  in- 
structor, either  as  prepararory  to  the  larger  Grammar,  or  in  connection  with  it. 

Xo  separate  references  to'  this  volume  will  ever  be  needed  in  editions  of  Latin  authors,  as 
the  numbering  of  the  articles  is  the  same  as  in  the  larger  Grammar.  Thus  one  and  the  same 
reference  will  apply  to  both  works. 

OPfflOXS  OF  DISTINGUISHED  EDUCATORS. 


Pres.  Cobleigh,  Tennessee  Wesleyan  University. 
"  This  work  is  very  timely.   I  regard  it  as  in- 
dispensable in  many  schools  in  the  South." 

Prof.  W.  H.  Young,  Ohio  University. 
I  most  heartily  commend  this  work.   I  have 
for  some  time  felt  its  need.   It  seems  to  make  your 
Latin  course  complete." 

Prof.  C.  G.  Hudson,  Genesee  Wesleyan  Seminary, 
Lima,  N.  Y. 
"  I  can  heartily  recommend  it.   I  think  that  it 
is  superior  to  all  rivals." 

Prof.  H.  D.  Walker,  Orangeville  Academy,  Pa. 
"  In  my  opinion,  no  work  of  Professor  narkness 
frill  be  more  widely  used,  or  more  valuable  than 
ihis.  It  supplies  a  want  long  felt  by  teachers.  It 
cs  clear,  thorough,  and  sufficiently  extended  for 
ordinary  students." 

Prof.  S.  H.  Maxlet,  Cornell  College,  Iowa. 
"I  think  it  one  of  the  finest  compendiums  of 
grammar  I  have  ever  seen.   It  must  prove  of  great 
service  as  a  preparatory  drill-book." 

Prof.  L.  F.  Parker,  Iowa  College. 
M I  feel  under  personal  obligation  for  this  new 
oicentive  and  aid  to  classical  study." 


H.  F.  La>te,  High  School,  Templeton,  Mass. 
"It  is  exactly  adapted  to  our  wants.  We  use 
all  of  Harkness's  books— Grammar,  Reader,  and 
Composition.    We  consider  them  emphatically 
'  the  best.' " 

Prof.  J.  A.  Keller,  Heidelberg  College,  Ohio. 

"  I  was  surprised  to  find  so  full  an  outline  of 
Latin  Grammar  comprised  within  such  narrow 
limits." 

Prof.  M.  B.  Brown,  Notre  Dame  University. 

"In  my  opinion,  it  is  just  the  book  which  has 
long  been  needed.  It  is  a  book  to  be  learned 
entire,  and  is  complete  as  far  as  it  goes.  Prof. 
Harkness  deserves  the  thanks  both  of  students 
and  teachers." 

Rev.  M.  C.  Stebblks,  High  School,  Springfield, 
Mass. 

"I  must  pronounce  Harkness's  Elements  of 
Latin  Grammar  a  model  of  condensation." 

Rev.  B.  G.  Northrop,  Secretary  of  Board  of  Edu- 
cation, Conn. 
"I  am  highly  pleased  with  Harkness's  Ele- 
ments of  Latin  Grammar.  Its  brevity  commends 
it  for  beginners  and  for  all  contemplating  a  par- 
tial Latin  course  of  study." 


Harkness's  Latin  Reader. 

This  work  is  intended  as  a  companion  to  the  author's  Latin  Grammar.  It  comprises 
Reading  Lessons,  Suggestions  to  the  Learner,  Notes,  and  a  Vocabulary. 

The  Reading  Lessons  are  abundantly  supplied  with  references  to  the  Grammar,  and  are 
arranged  in  two  parts. 

Part  First  presents  a  progressive  series  of  exercises  illustrative  of  grammatical  forms,  in- 
flections, and  rules. 

Part  Second  illustrates  connected  discourse,  and  comprises  Fables,  Anecdotes,  and  History. 
The  Suggestions  to  the  Learner  are  intended  to  direct  the  unskilful  efforts  of  the  beginner, 
to  point  out  to  him  the  process  by  which  he  may  most  readily  and  surely  reach  the  meaning

and  the  structure  of  a  Latin  sentence,  and  to  teach  him  to  embody  that  meaning  in  clear, 
idiomatic  English. 

The  Notes  aim  to  furnish  such  collateral  information  as  will  enable  the  learner  to  appreciate 
the  subject-matter  of  his  reading  lessons,  and  such  special  aid  as  will  enable  him  to  surmount 
real  and  untried  difficulties. 


OPINIONS  OF  DISTIXOriSIIKI)  PRACTICAL  INSTRUCTORS. 


Prof.  A.  S.  Packard,  Boudoin  College,  Maine.

and  useful." 

Hon.  Samuel  P.  Bates.  Deputy  Supt.  of  Public 
Schools,  Pa.

ciates the  true  fundamental  principles  of  the 
science  of  translation." 

Prof.  W.  W.  Goodwin,  Harvard  College. 

"  It  seems  to  me  a  most  valuable  work,  and  an 
excellent  companion  to  the  author's  Latin  Gram- 
mar." 

Prof.  Franklin  Carter,  Williams  College,  Mass. 

"I  rejoice  that  there  is  at  last  published  in  our 
country  a  series  of  Latin  works  really  adapted  to 
the  wants  of  beginners." 

Prof.  M.  B.  Brown,  Notre  Dame  University,  Bid.

and  highest  sense  of  the  term." 

Prof.  O.  L.  Castle,  Shurtleff  College,  111.

"Harkness's  Latin  Reader  is  the  most  satis- 
factory text-book  I  have  ever  used."  , 

Prof.  J.  B.  Foster,  Colby  University,  Maine. 
"I  am  much  pleased  with  the  book,  and  can 
cordially  recommend  its  adoption." 

Pres.  I.  W.  Andrews,  Marietta  College.

greatly  facilitate  the  acquisition  of  the  Latin  lan- 
guage."

struction in  Latin  with  which  I  am  acquainted." 

Prof.  C.  M.  Dodd,  Jefferson  College,  Pa. 
"  This  is  an  excellent  school-book." 

Prof.  Oscar  Howes.  Shurtleff  College,  HI.

ably superior  to  all  others,  is  rendered  even  more 
serviceable  by  this  fitting  companion." 


Prof.  C.  S.  Harrington,  Wedeyan  University, 
Conn. 

"It  is  finely  adapted  to  the  author's  Grammar. 
The  selections  are  admirable,  and  the  suggestions 
to  the  learner  excellent." 

C.  V.  Spkar,  Young  Ladies'  Institute,  Plttsfield, 
Mas. 

"  The  Suggestions  form  an  entirely  new  feature, 
and  must  be  of  very  great  value  to  the  student." 

Prof.  James  Mudge,  Pennington  Female  College, 
N.J.

"  The  Reader  is  most  admirably  adapted  to  thr 
purpose  for  which  it  is  designed." 

B.  R.  McKoon,  Whitestown  Seminary,  Whitestown 
N.  Y. 

"  I  say  most  unhesitatingly  that  Harkness^f 
Reader  is  the  best  I  have  ever  seen.  With  the  au 
thor's  incomparable  Grammar,  it  exactly  fills  the 
place  I  have  long  desired  to  see  attempted." 

A.  D.  Candler,  Clayton  High  School,  Ga. 
"  Harkness's  Latin  Grammar  and  Reader  are  fai 
superior  to  any  other  introductory  Latin  bookf 
now  in  use.  Prof.  Harkness  has  done  more  thaD 
any  other  American  teacher  to  relieve  the  study  of 
the  classics  of  the  tediousness  which  renders  it  sc 
repulsive  to  the  beginner." 

Prof.  H.  T.  Hickok,  High  School,  Manlius,  N.  Y. 

"It  seems  unnecessary  to  say  of  Harkness's 
whole  Latin  series  that  it  is  unequalled.  The  au- 
thor has  caught  the  true  idea  of  a  Latin  text-book; 
others  have  failed  in  this." 

Dr.  Alexander  Wilson,  Classical  School,  Mel- 
ville, N.  C. 

"  Harkness's  Latin  Reader  is  an  admirable  book 
—the  best  of  the  Readers  I  have  seen." 

Mr.  C.  R.  Bullard,  High  School,  EeesevUle,  N.  Y. 

"  I  regard  the  Reader  as  decidedly  superior  to 
any  other  work  of  the  kind.  In  fact.  Harkness's 
classical  course,  as  a  whole,  is  the  best  out."

D.  APPLET  ON  &  CO.'S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS. 

HAKKNESS'S  PEACTIOAL 
Introduction  to  Latin  Composition, 

This  volume  is  intended  to  aid  the  classical  student  in  acquiring  a  practical  acquaintance 
with  the  difficult  but  important  subject  of  Latin  composition.  It  aims  to  be  at  once  simple, 
progressive,  and  complete.  Starting  with  the  beginner  as  soon  as  he  has  learned  a  few  gram- 
matical forms,  it  conducts  him  step  by  step  through  a  progressive  series  of  lessons  and  exer- 
cises, until  he  is  so  far  master,  both  of  the  theory  and  of  the  practice  of  the  subject,  that  he 
no  longer  needs  the  aid  of  a  special  text-book. 

The  work  consists  of  three  parts,  of  which  the  first  is  purely  elementary,  and  is  intended 
as  a  companion  to  the  Reader. 

Part  Second  furnishes  the  learner  instruction  and  practice  in  Latin  Composition  through- 
out the  subsequent  stages  of  his  preparatory  course  for  college. 

Part  Third,  intended  for  the  earlier  portion  of  a  collegiate  course  of  study,  aims  to  intro- 
duce the  student  to  a  practical  acquaintance  with  the  elements  of  Latin  style. 

A  series  of  Models,  selected  from  the  writings  of  Cicero,  the  great  master  of  Latin  style, 
extends  through  the  entire  work. 

Special  attention  has  been  given  to  the  important  subject  of  Synonymes  and  Idioms. 


OPINIONS  OF  PROMINENT  EDUCATORS. 


Prof.  J.  W.  Stearns,  University  of  Chicago. 

"This  work  seems  to  me  the  best  of  an  admir- 
able series  of  Latin  text-books.  I  have  already  in- 
troduced it  in  this  institution." 

A.  M.  Gat,  Master,  Boston  Latin  School. 
"I  like  the  work  exceedingly.   The  method  of 
treatment,  at  once  simple,  progressive,  and  com- 
plete, is  wortby  of  tbe  highest  commendation." 

Prof.  J.  R.  Boise,  University  of  Chicago. 
"In  my  judgment  it  is  quite  superior  to  any 
work  of  the  kind  hitherto  published." 

Prof.  J.  B.  Sewall,  Boicdoin  College,  Maine. 

"  I  am  so  much  pleased  with  it  as  to  be  quite 
decided  to  place  it  on  the  list  of  our  required  pre- 
paratory studies." 

C.  Emery,  Charlestown  High  School,  Mass. 
"We  find  it  all  we  anticipated— simple,  pro- 
gressive, and  complete. 

Prof.  D.  O.  Scoviele,  Oneida  Conference  Semi- 
nary, Cazenovia,  N.  T. 
"  I  am  gratified  to  state  that  it  far  surpasses  my 
highest  expectations.  I  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that 
it  will  supersede  all  other  works  on  Latin  Compo- 
sition." 


Prof.  C.  G.  Hudson,  Wesleyan  Seminar,  Lima, 
N.  Y. 

"I  am  very  much  pleased  with  this  work,  and 
can  heartily  recommend  it.  The  longer  I  use  it, 
the  better  I  like  it." 

Prof.  E.  P.  Crowell,  AmJierst  College,  Mass. 

"It  is  just  what  the  author  aimed  to  make  it- 
simple,  progressive,  and  complete.  I  regard  it  as 
by  far  the  best  book  of  its  kind  published  in  this 
country.  The  Ciceronian  models,  the  explanatory 
remarks,  and  the  treatment  of  the  subject  of  style, 
must  commend  it  to  general  favor." 

Prof.  "W.  H.  Shelley,  Albion  College,  Mich.

HAEK.X  ESS'S  EDITION  OF 
Caesar's  Commentaries  on  the  Gallic  War. 

This  edition  of  the  Commentaries,  intended  to  follow  the  Latin  Reader,  aims  to  introduce 
the  student  to  an  appreciative  study  of  Latin  authors.  The  text  is  the  result  of  a  careful 
collation  of  the  several  editions  most  approved  by  European  scholars.  The  notes  are  in- 
tended to  guide  the  faithful  efforts  of  the  learner,  and  to  furnish  him  such  collateral  informa- 
tion as  will  enable  him  to  understand  and  appreciate  the  stirring  events  recorded  in  the 
Commentaries,  and  such  special  aid  as  will  enable  him  to  surmount  real  and  untried  difficul- 
ties of  construction  and  idiom.  They  will  thus,  it  is  hoped,  render  an  acceptable  service 
both  to  the  instructor  and  the  learner,  by  lightening  the  burden  of  the  one,  and  by  promoting 
the  progress  of  the  other.  The  dictionary  has  been  prepared  with  special  reference  to  the 
wants  of  the  student. 

The  Life  of  Ccesar,  the  Map  of  Gaul,  and  the  diagrams  and  illustrations  which  accompany 
the  notes,  will  greatly  add  to  the  value  of  the  work. 


OPINIONS  OF  PROMINENT  EDUCATORS. 


Pres.  AxHXH,  Union  College,  X.  T. 
"  This  edition  of  the  Commentaries  is  admira- 
bly suited,  not  merely  to  give  the  student  an  ac- 
quaintance with  his  immediate  text-book,  but  also 
to  develop  those  habits  of  investigation,  that 
thoughtfulness  in  regard  to  the  scope  of  the  whole 
subject,  and  that  style  of  vigorous,  tasteful,  and 
idiomatic  rendering,  which  are  among  the  rarest, 
as  they  are  certainly  among  the  most  important, 
results  of  classical  study." 

S.  H.  Taylor,  LL.  D.,  Phillips  Academy,  Andover, 
Mass. 

"  The  notes  are  prepared  with  a  judicious  ap-

experienced  teacher."  •

First  Greek  Book  and  Introductory  Reader. 

This  work  is  at  once  a  Grammar,  an  Exercise  Book,  and  an  Introductory  Reader 

1.  As  a  Grammar,  it  presents  an  outline  of  the  forms  and  inflections  of  the  language,  and 
a  complete  analytical  Syntax. 

2.  As  an  Exercise-Bool;  it  furnishes  practice  in  translating  Greek  into  English  and  English 
into  Greek.  It  thus  renders  available  at  every  step  the  pupil's  grammatical  knowledge,  and 
gives  him  such  a  practical  hold  upon  the  forms  and  principles  of  the  language  as  no  other 
course  can  impart. 

3.  As  an  Introductory  Reader,  it  furnishes  the  pupil  sufficient  practice  in  translating  not 
only  classified  sentences,  but  also  connected  discourse,  in  the  form  of  Fables,  Anecdotes,  and 
Legends,  to  prepare  him  to  enter  with  ease  and  success  upon  the  consecutive  study  of  the 
Anabasis  of  Xenophon.  It  thus  obviates  the  necessity  of  any  separate  Reader,  and,  with  the 
Anabasis,  furnishes  all  the  reading  matter  deemed  essential  in  a  course  of  preparatory  study. 

4.  The  work  is  complete  in  itself,  requiring  no  accompaniment  of  grammar  or  lexicon ; 
but,  as  it  is  abundantly  furnished  with  references  to  the  Grammars  of  Professors  Hadley, 
Crosby,  and  Sophocles,  it  may  be  used  at  the  pleasure  of  the  instructor,  either  alone  or  as  a 
companion  to  either  of  those  standard  works.

12mo.    018  pages.    Price  $1.50. 

A  complete,  thorough,  practical,  and  easy  Greek  course  is  here  presented.  The  heginnor 
commences  with  the  "  First  Book,"  in  which  the  elementary  principles  of  the  language  are 
unfolded,  not  in  abstract  language  difficult  hoth  to  comprehend  and  to  remember,  hut  as 
practically  applied  in  sentences.  Throughout  the  whole,  the  pupil  sees  just  where  he 
stands,  and  is  taught  to  use  and  apply  what  he  learns.  His  progress  is,  therefore,  as  rapid 
as  it  is  intelligent  and  pleasant.  There  is  no  unnecessary  verbiage,  nor  is  the  pupil's  atten- 
tion diverted  from  what  is  really  important  by  a  mass  of  minor  details.  It  is  the  experience 
of  teachers  who  use  this  hook  that  with  it  a  given  amount  of  Greek  Grammar  can  he  im- 
parted to  a  pupil  in  a  shorter  time  and  with  far  less  trouble  than  with  any  other  text-hook. 

The  "First  Book"  may  with  advantage  he  followed  hy  the  "Introduction  to  Greek 
Prose  Composition."  The  object  of  this  work  is  to  enable  the  student,  as  soon  as  he  can 
decline  and  conjugate  with  tolerahle  facility,  to  translate  simple  sentences  after  given  cx 
amples  and  with  given  words  ;  the  principles  employed  heing  those  of  imitation  and  very 
frequent  repetition.  It  is  at  once  a  Syntax,  a  Vocabulary,  and  an  Exercise  book.  The 
"Second  Part"  carries  the  subject  further,  unfolding  the  most  complicated  constructions, 
and  the  nicest  points  of  Latin  Syntax. 

The  Reader,  besides  extracts  judiciously  selected  from  the  Greek  classics,  contains  valu- 
able instructions  to  guide  the  learner  in  translating  and  construing,  and  a  complete  expo- 
sition of  the  particles,  their  signification  and  government.  It  is  a  fitting  sequel  to  the 
earlier  parts  of  the  course,  everywhere  showing  the  hand  of  an  acute  critic,  an  accomplished 
scholar,  and  an  experienced  teacher. 


From  the  Rev.  Dr.  Coleman,  Professor  of  Greek  and 
Latin,  Princeton,  2T.  J. 

"  I  can,  from  the  most  satisfactory  experience,  bear 
testimony  to  the  excellence  of  your  series  of  Text- 
Books  for  Schools.  I  am  in  the  daily  use  of  Arnold's 
Latin  and  Greek  Exercises,  and  consider  them  decid-

Languages."

Professor  ITadley's  long-expected  Grammar  is  offered  to  the  public  in  the  confident 
belief  that  it  will,  in  every  respect,  meet  the  wants  of  Academies  and  Colleges.  It  not  only 
presents  the  latest  and  best  results  of  Greek  studies,  but  it  also  treats  the  language  in  the 
light  received  from  comparative  philology.  We  invite  particular  attention  to  the  conven- 
ient exhibition  of  the  dialects,  the  systematic  arrangement  and  symmetrical  paradigms  of 
the  verb,  the  syntax  of  the  modes  and  tenses,  and  the  syntax  of  the  particles.  The  whole 
work  will  be  found  clear  in  its  language,  accurate  in  its  definitions,  judicious  In  its  arrange- 
ment, and  sufficiently  comprehensive  for  all  purposes,  while  it  is  free  from  that  cumbrous 
array  of  details  so  repulsive  to  the  student. 


From  A.  C.  Kendeick,  Prof,  of  Greek  in  Rochester 
Univ.,  Author  of  Kendrick's  Greek  Ollendorff, 
etc. 

"  I  am  particularly  pleased  with  Prof.  Hartley's 
Greek  Grammar.  It  comes  very  near  to  meeting  my 
ideal  of  a  Greek  Grammar  for  American  Academies 
and  Colleges.  I  shall  recommend  it  at  once  strongly 
to  my  classes  in  Greek." 

From  Rev.  Chaklton  T.  Lewis,  Professor  in  Troy 
University. 

"  It  meets  a  want  all  instructors  in  Greek  have 
long  felt,  and  meets  it  so  well  tbat  we  can  desire 
little  more.  I  have  of  course  adopted  it  as  the  text- 
book and  standard  of  reference  in  this  institution, 
believing  that  it  will  be  found  quite  full  enough  even 
for  advanced  college  classes." 

From  Elbeidge  Smith,  Princ.  of  Norwich  {Conn.) 
Free  Academy. 
"  The  use  of  the  book  is  to  me  a  source  of  constant- 
ly increasing  pleasure  It  seems  to  me  he  must  be  a 
scholar  of  extraordinary  courage  who  shall  attempt 
to  present  the  elements  of  the  Greek  language  in  a 
clearer  or  more  attractive  form  than  in  the  Grammar 
of  Prof.  Hadley." 

From  Eev.  Mahlon  Long,  Principal  of  Tennent 
School,  Hartsville,  Pa. 

"  From  the  reputation  of  the  author  and  the  pecu- 
liar merit  of  the  Grammar,  it  must  soon  take  high 
rank  among  scholars  and  teachers.  It  is  worthy  of 
remark  how  far  it  embraces,  in  condensed  form,  the 
substance  of  the  largest  grammars.  It  is  needless  to 
speak  of  it  in  detail. 

"  Its  completeness,  conciseness,  and  clearness  of 
statement  must  commend  it  at  once  to  intelligent 
scholars  as  an  important  contribution  to  Greek  lite- 
rature in  the  place  it  professes  to  occupy." 


From  Howard  Cnosnv,  Prof,  of  Greek  in  Rutgers 
College,  New  Brunswick. 
M  I  am  much  obliged  to  you  for  the  copy  of  Had- 
ley "s  Greek  Grammar.  I  have  been  looking  for  its 
publication  for  some  time  past,  knowing  that  Prof. 
Hadley's  scholarship  would  produce  a  very  valuable 
work.  Nor  am  I  disappointed.  My  examination  of 
the  book  has  satisfied  me  that  it  is  the  best  Greek 
Grammar  accessible  to  college  students  in  our 
country.  It  will  add  to  Prof.  Hadley's  deservedly 
high  reputation,  while  it  will  greatly  assist  the 
labors  of  instructors." 

From  S.  II.  Taylob,  LL.  D.,  Principal  of  Phillips' 
Academy. 

"  I  have  been  for  some  time  familiar  with  Curtius's 
Greek  Grammar,  on  which  Prof.  Hadley's  is  based, 
and  have  found  it  a  valuable  work.  But  under  the 
skilful  hand  of  Prof.  Hadley,  we  have  a  new  and 
greatly  improved  treatise.  In  its  present  form,  so 
elaborately  re-wrought,  and  made  so  full  in  all  its 
parts,  it  presents  in  a  very  methodical,  clear,  and 
direct  form,  all  the  grammatical  principles  of  the  lan- 
guage, which  the  student  will  ordinarily  have  occa- 
sion to  seek.  It  is  an  index  of  the  progress  of  Greek 
studies  in  our  country." 

From  the  Presbyterian  Banner. 
"  In  this  grammar  Prof.  Hadley  has  brought  out, 
with  great  success,  the  new  views  of  Greek  ety- 
mology and  structure,  as  developed  and  established 
by  the  comparative  study  of  the  Indo-European 
language.  The  multiplicity  of  forms  presented  by 
the  different  dialects  is  wonderfully  simplified.  The 
forms  of  voice,  mode,  and  tense  are  reduced  to  a 
small  nwmber  of  groups  called  1  tense-systems,'  thus 
making  the  entire  structure  of  the  verb  simple  and 
more  intelligible  to  the  learner."

SHORT  AND  COMPREHENSIVE 

Greek  Grammar. 

BY  J.  T.  CHAMPLIN, 

PROFESSOR  OF  GREEK  A>D  LATIX  IX  WATERV1LLE  COLLEGE. 

12mo.  208page3.  Price  $1.25. 

In  compiling  this  grammar,  Prof.  Champlin  has  drawn  upon  the  best  critics  and  gram- 
marians, and  with  the  results  of  his  research  has  interwoven  much  original  matter  suggested 
during  several  years'  experience  in  teaching  and  editing  Greek  authors.  His  design  is  to 
exhibit  the  essential  facts  and  principles  of  the  language  in  the  clearest,  briefest,  and  most 
practicable  form  possible.  With  this  view,  all  theories  and  complications  belonging  to 
general  grammar  have  been  avoided,  and  only  their  results  used.  The  amplification  and 
illustration  of  principles  have  been  carried  only  so  far  as  is  necessary  to  their  comprehen- 
sion. In  this  way  all  the  real  wants  of  the  Greek  student  are  met,  while  his  attention  is 
not  distracted  by  unnecessary  and  embarrassing  details.  Materials  for  oral  exercises  are 
supplied,  and  a  sketch  of  Greek  versification  is  given  in  an  appendix. 


From  the  Rev.  Me.  Anderson,  New  Orleans. 

"I  believe  the  author  has  fully  accomplished  what 
he  proposes  in  his  preface.  To  those  wishing  to  study 
Oreek,  I  am  satisfied  he  has  presented  a  book  which 
will  much  tend  to  simplify  the  6tudy,  to  beginners— 
and  at  the  same  time  without  being  too  voluminous, 


presents  as  lucid  and  full  an  exposition  of  the  princi- 
ples of  the  language,  as  can  be  contained  within  so 
small  a  compass.  His  arrangement  of  Anomalous 
verbs  we  think  excellent,  and  not  loaded  with  super- 
fluous matter.  His  chapter  on  the  formation  of  words

Kuhner's  Greek  Grammar 

TRANSLATED  BY  PROFESSORS  EDWARDS  AND  TAYLOR. 


Large  12mo.  620  pages.  Price  $2. 00. 

Kuhner's  is  universally  acknowledged  to  be  the  most  accurate,  comprehensive,,  clear,  and 
practical  grammar  of  the  Greek  language  now  extant.  It  is  the  work  of  one  who  devoted 
his  life  to  Greek  philology,  and  spent  years  of  patient  labor  in  perfecting  this  work.  Too 
full  and  learned  for  the  beginner,  it  is  just  what  is  needed  for  the  College  curriculum,  con- 
taining all  that  a  book  of  reference  should  contain.  The  student  will  never  appeal  to  its 
pages  in  vain.  In  fulness  of  illustration,  copiousness  of  reference,  and  philosophical 
analysis  of  the  various  forms  of  language,  it  is  unsurpassed,  we  might  say  unequalled. 

The  present  translation  is  made  by  two  distinguished  American  scholars,  who  have  re- 
vised the  whole,  verified  the  references,  and  appended  an  original  treatise  of  their  own  on 
Greek  versification.  As  now  presented  to  the  public,  it  is  believed  to  be  as  perfect  a  gram- 
mar of  the  Greek  language  as  enlightened  research  and  profound  scholarship  can  produce. 

From  the  Professor  of  Greek  in  Williams  College. 

"  I  think  highly  of  your  edition  of  Kuhner's  Greek 
Grammar.  "We  have  nothing  in  use  among  us  that  is 
*qual  to  it  as  a  comprehensive,  systematic  analysis  of 
the  language.  In  many  respects  the  translators  have 
much  improved  this  edition,  and  I  should  be  glad  to 
■ave  its  pages  more  generally  consulted  by  our  young 
oaeo." 


From  Prof.  Geo.  Burrowes,  Lafayette  College,  f 
"  I  beg  to  tender  you  my  thanks  for  the  copy  of  the 
new  revised  edition  of  Kuhner's  Greek  Grammar, 
translated  by  Edwards  and  Taylor.  The  high  charac- 
ter of  this  book  is  fully  established,  and  the  friends  of 
Greek  literature  are  under  obligations  as  well  to  the 
publishers  as  to  the  translators  for  making  it  accessi- 
ble to  the  students  of  our  country."

Greek  Ollendorff ( 

BEING  A  PROGRESSIVE  EXHIBITION  OF  THE  PRINCIPLES  OF  THE  GREEK  GRAMMAR* 

BY  ASAHEL  C.  KENDRICK, 

PROFESSOR  Or  TUE  GREEK  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE  EH  THE  UNIVERSITY  OT  ROCHESTER. 

12mo.  371  pages.  Price  SI. 75. 

The  present  work  is  what  its  title  indicates,  strictly  an  Ollendorff,  and  aims  to  apply  tbo 
methods  which  have  proved  so  successful  in  the  acquisition  of  the  modern  languages  to  tho 
Btudy  of  Ancient  Greek,  with  such  differences  as  the  different  genius  of  the  Greek,  and  the 
different  purposes  for  which  it  is  studied,  suggest.  It  differs  from  the  modern  Ollendorff* 
in  containing  exercises  for  reciprocal  translation,  in  confining  them  within  a  smaller  com- 
pass, and  in  a  more  methodical  exposition  of  the  principles  of  the  language. 

The  leading  ohject  of  the  author  was  to  furnish  a  book  which  should  serve  as  an  vilroduc- 
lion  to  the  study  of  Greek,  and  precede  the  use  of  any  Grammar.  It  will  therefore  be  found, 
although  not  claiming  to  embrace  all  the  principles  of  the  Grammar,  yet  complete  in  itself, 
and  will  lead  the  pupil,  by  insensible  gradations,  from  the  simpler  constructions  to  those 
which  are  more  complicated  and  difficult.  The  exceptions,  and  the  more  idomatic  forms, 
it  studiously  avoids,  aiming  only  to  exhibit  the  regular  and  ordinary  usages  of  the  language 
as  the  proper  starting-point  for  the  student's  further  researches. 

In  presenting  these,  the  author  has  aimed  to  combine  the  strictest  accuracy  with  the  ut- 
most simplicity  of  statement.  His  work  is  therefore  adapted  to  a  younger  class  of  pupils 
than  have  usually  engaged  in  the  study  of  Greek,  and  will,  it  is  hoped,  win  to  the  acquisi- 
tion of  that  noble  tongue  many  in  our  academies  and  primary  schools  who  have  been  re 
pclled  by  the  less  simple  character  of  our  ordinarv  text-books.

These  Exercises  consist  of  easy  sentences,  similar  to  those  in  the  Anabasis,  in  having  the 
ssajne  words  and  constructions,  and  are  designed  by  frequent  repetition  to  make  the  learner 
familiar  with  the  language  of  Xenophon.  Accordingly,  the  chapters  and  sections  in  both 
are  made  to  correspond.  No  exercises  can  be  more  improving  than  those  in  this  volume  ; 
obliging  the  student  as  they  do,  by  analysis  and  synthesis,  to  master  the  constructions  em- 
ployed by  one  of  the  purest  of  Greek  writers,  and  imbuing  him  with  the  spirit  of  one  oi 
the  greatest  historians  of  all  antiquity.

STATES. 

BY  JAMES  R.  BOISE, 

PROFESSOR  OF  GREEK  IX  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  MICHIGAN. 

12nio.  393  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

A  handsome  and  convenient  edition  of  this  great  classic,  really  adapted  to  the  wants  of 
schools,  has  long  heen  needed  ;  the  want  is  here  met  hy  Professor  Boise  in  a  manner  that 
leaves  nothing  to  be  desired.  Decidedly  the  best  German  editions,  whether  text  or  com- 
mentary be  considered,  have  appeared  within  the  last  few  years  ;  and  of  these  Mr.  Boise 
has  made  free  use  ;  while,  at  the  same  time,  he  has  not  lost  sight  of  the  fact  that  the 
classical  schools  of  this  country  are  behind  those  of  Germany,  and  that  simpler  and  more 
elementary  explanations  are  therefore  often  necessary  in  a  work  prepared  for  American 
schools.  Nothing  has  been  put  in  the  notes  for  the  sake  of  a  mere  display  of  learning, — 
pedantry  is  out  of  place  in  a  school-book  ;  and  nothing  has  been  introduced  by  way  of  com- 
ment except  what  can  be  turned  to  practical  use  by  the  reader. 

An  historical  introduction,  which  will  enable  the  pupil  to  enter  on  his  task  intelligently, 
is  prefixed.  An  abundance  of  geographical  information,  embodying  the  latest  discoveries 
of  travellers,  is  supplied  ;  and  the  whole  is  illustrated  with  Kiepert's  excellent  map,  show- 
ing the  entire  route  of  the  ten  thousand  on  their  retreat.

This  will  be  found  an  exceedingly  useful  book  for  College  classes.  The  text  is  large  and 
distinct,  the  typography  accurate,  and  the  notes  judicious  and  scholarly.  Instead  of  re- 
ferring the  student  to  a  variety  of  books,  few  of  which  are  within  his  reach,  the  editor  has 
wisely  supplied  whatever  is  necessary.  An  admirable  treatise  on  the  Life  of  Socrates  in- 
troduces the  work,  and  English  and  Greek  Indexes  render  it  easy  to  refer  to  the  text  and 
notes.

Plato's  Apology  and  Crito;*

BY  W.  S.  TYLER,

12mo.  180  Pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  edition  of  the  Apology  and  Crito  has  been  prepared  to  meet  the  largely  felt  want 
among  students  of  the  Dialogues  of  Plato,  now  mostly  superseded  in  Academic  Courses. 
It  is  in  the  main  an  exact  reprint  of  Stallbaum's  Third  Edition — though  the  author  has  had 
before  him,  and  used,  whenever  it  seemed  best,  the  editions  of  Iiekker,  Fischer,  Forster, 
Ast,  Schleicrmachcr,  and  others.  The  Notes  are  particularly  full  and  clear ;  and  errors  in 
the  text  have  been  guarded  against  with  the  very  greatest  care. 


From  J.  II.  Garritt,  Professor  of  Greek,  Hanover 
(Ind.)  College. 
u  I  can  most  heartily  say  that  I  am  much  pleased 
with  the  book.  Prof.  Tyler  6cems  to  have  hit  the 
happy  medium  between  too  profuse  and  too  6canty 
notes;  and  also  to  have  known  the  kind  of  notes 
needed  in  our  American  institutions,  better  than  the 
great  majority  of  those  who  have  given  us  editions 
of  the  ancient  classics.  I  have  adopted  the  work 
this  year,  in  place  of  the  Gorgias,  and  anticipate 
much  pleasure  in  reading  it  in  connection  with  the 
class."

"  I  have  examined  Professor  Tyler's  edition  of  the 
'Apology  and  Crito,'  and  am  highly  pleased  with  its

known  scholarship,  and  is  an  acceptable  addition  to 
our  college  text-books.  The  typography  is  also  ac- 
curate and  very  beautiful.  I  purpose  to  introduce  it 
into  Centre  Colloge."

my  classes  as  soon  as  I  have  opportunity.  I  have  no 
doubt  it  will  prove  a  most  acceptable  addition  to  the 
classics  read  in  our  colleges." 

From  "W.  II.  Young,  Dept.  Anct.  Languages,  Ohio

"  It  will  meet  a  pressing  want  with  us,  and  shall

recommendation  of  a  text-book  than  the  name  of 
Professor  Tyler." 

From  the  Witness  and  Church  Advocate,  Boston. 
"  It  presents  in  Greek  type,  of  unusual  clearnesa 
and  accuracy,  the  text  of  those  immortal  treatises, 
which  give  us  the  best  style  and  view  of  the  sublime 
sentiments  both  of  Socrates  and  Plato."

Selections  from  Herodotus; 

COMPRISING  MAINLY  SUCH  PORTIONS  AS  GIVE  A  CONNECTED  HISTORY  OF  THE  EAST,  TO  1HH 
FALL  OF  BABYLON  AND  THE  DEATH  OF  CYRUS  THE  GREAT. 

BY  HERMAN  M.  JOHNSON,  D.  D., 

PROFESSOR  OF  PHILOSOPHY  AND  ENGLISH  LITERATURE  IX  DICKINSON  COLLEGE 

12mo.  185  pages.  Price  $150. 

The  present  selection  embraces  such  parts  of  Herodotus  as  give  a  connected  history  of 
Asiatic  nations.  These  portions  are  not  only  particularly  interesting  in  themselves,  but 
open  to  the  student  a  new  field,  inasmuch  as  the  other  Greek  and  Eoman  authors  com- 
monly put  into  his  hands  leave  this  period  of  history  untouched. 

Herodotus  is  peculiarly  adapted  to  academical  reading.  It  has  charms  for  the  student 
which  no  other  text-book  possesses,  on  account  of  the  simple  elegance  of  the  style  and  the 
liveliness  of  the  narrative.  In  preparing  his  notes,  the  editor  has  borne  in  mind  that  they 
are  intended  for  learners  in  the  earlier  part  of  their  classical  course ;  he  has  therefore 
made  the  explanations  in  the  former  part  of  the  work  quite  full,  with  frequent  references 
to  such  grammars  as  are  in  the  hands  of  most  students. 

The  notes  proper  are  purely  explanatory  and  grammatical.  Other  remarks,  in  the  way 
of  criticism  or  investigation,  are  appended  to  the  several  chapters,  for  the  sake  of  awaken 
ing  reflection  and  inciting  to  further  inquiry. 

A  condensed  treatise  on  the  Ionic  Dialect  and  the  peculiar  forms  of  declension  and  con 
jugation  used  by  Herodotus,  removes  one  of  the  most  serious  difficulties  that  has  hereto- 
fore embarrassed  the  student  in  reading  this  author.  If  this  chapter  is  learned  in  advance, 
the  dialectic  forms,  otherwise  so  troublesome,  will  be  recognized  without  the  slightest 
difficulty. 

The  text  is  printed  in  large,  bold  type,  and  accompanied  with  a  Map  of  the  regions 
described.

PROFESSOR  OF  THE  GREEK  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE  IN  THE  NEW  YORK  UNIVERSITY. 

12mo.  138  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

The  object  had  in  view  in  this  publication  is  to  furnish  to  college-students  the  master- 
piece of  the  greatest  of  Greek  tragic  poets  in  a  convenient  form.  No  learned  criticism  on 
the  text  was  needed  or  has  been  attempted.  The  Tauchnitz  edition  has  been  chiefly  fol- 
lowed, and  such  aid  is  rendered,  in  the  way  of  notes,  as  may  assist,  not  render  needless,  the 
efforts  of  the  student.  Too  much  help  begets  indolence  ;  too  little,  despair  :  the  author 
has  striven  to  present  the  happy  mean. 

The  inviting  appearance  of  the  text  and  the  merit  of  the  commentary  have  made  this 
volume  a  favorite  whenever  it  has  been  used.

Kvpov  Ilaideia,  the  Education  of  Cyrus,  the  Discipline  of  Cyrus.  The  book,  however, 
treats  not  only  of  the  earlier  years  of  Cyrus,  but  also  of  his  whole  life,  his  laws,  institutions, 
habits  in  peace  and  in  war,  management  of  his  empire,  and  the  means  by  which  he  gave 
strength  and  permanence  to  his  government.  It  may  be  regarded  in  the  light  of  a  historical 
romance,  founded  in  the  main  upon  facts,  but  dressed  up  and  embellished  with  much  that  is 
most  unquestionably  fictitious.  It  has  ever  been  regarded  as  a  most  fascinating  work,  and 
from  the  purity  and  wisdom  of  its  maxims,  its  high  moral  tone,  its  simplicity  of  style,  and  the 
importance  of  the  subject,  has  been  considered  a  very  appropriate  classic  for  the  young  stu- 
dent, and  has  from  time  immemorial  found  its  way,  in  whole  or  in  some  of  its  parts,  into 
almost  every  academic  course  of  study  in  this  country  and  in  Europe. 


From  Prof.  Stxtrges,  Hanoi er  College. 
"  The  Odyssey  and  Cyropa?dia  of  Prof.  Owen  appear 
fully  equal  to  his  Anabasis;  and  after  using  the  latter 
for  three  years,  I  feel  that  I  cannot  give  them  a  higher 
praise.  The  Anabasis  is  one  of  the  very  bent  edited 
Greek  books  I  have  ever  used— learned,  modest,  and 
exact,  and  characterized  throughout  by  a  good  sense 
and  sound  judgment,  much  rarer  than  the  learning. 
I  shall  introduce  the  Odyssey  here  next  term.  I  am 
glad  Prof.  Owen  is  engaged  with  Thucydidcs,  that 
most  admirable  and  difficult  author.''1 

From  Prof.  W.  S.  Tyler,  D.  D.,  Amherst  College. 

"  I  have  examined  the  Cyropaidia  and  Odyssey  by 
Prof.  Owen,  with  great  satisfaction,  and  recommend 
them  for  use  in  our  classes.  After  using  them  for 
some  time  as  text-books,  I  am  still  more  convinced 
of  their  admirable  adaptation  to  answer  that  end  in 
our  schools  and  colleges.  They  have  been  prepared 
with  great  labor  and  care." 

From  the  Bibliotheca  Sacra,  Andover  Mass. 
"  This  is  the  first  edition  of  this  historical  romance 
»f  Xenophon  which  has  appeared  in  our  country. 
The  text  is  that  of  Dindorf,  which  is  probably  nearer 
the  true  reading  than  any  other.  The  work  is  printed 
with  unusual  accuracy,  the  few  typographical  errors 
which  we  have  detected  being  confined  principally  to 
accents.   The  Notes  are  judicious,  and,  what  cannot 


often  be  said,  on  jue.t  the  passages  where  the  student 
might  find  difficulty.  They  remind  us  at  every  step 
that  the  author  is  a  practical  teacher,  well  acquainted 
with  what  the  student  needs,  neither  begetting  habits 
of  indolence  in  him  by  affording  too  much  assistance, 
nor  leaving  him  in  despair  by  giving  too  little.  The 
notes  illustrate  national  customs,  geography,  gram- 
matical usages,  the  idioms  of  the  language,  as  well  as 
the  general  connection  of  thought  These  editions 
of  the  Greek  classics,  prepared  by  Prof.  Owen,  have 
been  received  with  high  approbation  by  teachers  in 
our  schools  and  colleges;  and  we  are  pleased  to  learn 
that  he  has  commenced  the  preparation  of  an  edition 
of  Thucydides." 

From  President  Smith,  Dartmouth  College. 

"  This  is  a  very  neatly  printed  edition  of  one  of 
the  sweetest  works  of  the  '  Attic  bee.1  It  possesses, 
we  think,  special  claims  upon  the  attention  of  teach- 
ers. The  text  adopted  is  chielly  that  of  Dindorf,  one 
of  the  most  perfect  of  the  German  editions.  The 
Notes  are  elaborated  with  great  care,  and  the  editor 
has  evidently  brought  to  his  task  a  sound  judgment 
in  regard  to  the  aid  required  by  the  student,  a  just 
appreciation  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  author,  and  an 
'iron  diligence1  in  elucidating  difficulties,  which  will 
secure  to  the  ediuon  the  respect  and  confidence 
teachers."

CHIEFLY  ACCORDING  TO  THE  TEXT  OF  L.  DINDORF,  WITH  NOTES ;

REVISED  EDITION,  WITH  A  BEAUTIFUL  MAP. 

12mo.  440  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

The  first  edition  of  this  Anabasis  was  published  in  1843.  Since  that  time  about  40,000 
copies  have  been  printed  and  sold.  The  stereotype  plates  having  become  somewhat  worn  by 
this  great  number  of  impressions,  it  has  been  deemed  advisable  to  recast  them  in  the  Porsonian 
type,  and  in  a  style  corresponding  to  the  editor's  more  recent  classical  editions.  The  notes 
have  been  thoroughly  revised  and  pruned  of  redundancies  and  all  irrelevancies,  and  enriched 
.  by  copious  references  to  the  grammars  of  Sophocles,  Crosby,  Kuhner,  and  Hadley.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  references  to  Sophocles's  grammar  at  the  foot  of  the  page  and  extending  through  the 
first  book,  copious  references  to  their  respective  grammars,  for  that  same  portion  of  the  text, 
have  been  made  expressly  for  this  edition  by  S.  H.  Taylor,  LL.  D.,  of  Phillips  Academy,  Andover, 
Mass.,  Prof.  Hadley  of  Yale  College,  and  by  Prof.  Goodwin  to  his  "Moods  and  Tenses  of  the 
Greek  Verb."  Thus  the  book  is  rendered  invaluable  to  all  who  wish  to  become  well  grounded  in 
the  elements  of  the  Greek  language. 


From  President  "Woolsey,  Yale  College. 
"I  find  that  Prof.  Owen  has  followed  the  best  text, 
and  that  the  notes  hear  abundant  testimony  to  the 
diligent  and  careful  study  which  he  has  spent  upon 
his  author,  and  to  his  judicious  use  of  the  best,  com- 
mentaries. Bis  edition  must  be  regarded,  I  think, 
as  decidedly  in  advance  of  all  others  to  which 
ttudents  of  the  Anabasis  in  our  country  hitherto 
\.a  ce  had  access." 

From  President  Felton,  Harvard  University. 

"I  have  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  a  copy  of 
/our  excellent  edition  of  the  Anabasis.  I  have  exam-

From  Prof.  E.  Searing,  A.  M.,  Milton  Academy, 
Wisconsin. 

"  I  have,  for  a  number  of  years,  used  and  recom- 
mended in  the  class-room  Professor  Owen's  edition 
of  the  Anabasis,  regarding  it  as  having  no  superior, 
either  in  accuracy  of  text  or  in  the  clearness  and 
practical  usefulness  of  the  notes.  With  the  refer- 
ences to  Kiihner's  and  Hadley's  Grammars,  and  to 
Goodwin's  Syntax  of  the  Moods  and  Tenses,  recently 
introduced,  I  now  consider  it  decidedly  superior  to 
any  other  edition  of  Xenophon  with  which  I  am 
acquainted,  and  shall  continue  to  use  and  recommend 
it  with  increased  confidence."

Price  S2.00. 

Next  to  the  Anabasis,  this  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most  popular  books  of  Professor  Owen's 
Eerioa.  It  ia  printed  in  the  clear,  beautiful  Porsonian  type,  and  so  well  spaced  as  to  render 
the  page  agreeable  to  the  eye  of  the  reader.  The  Notes  are  full,  but  not  bo  much  so  as  to 
beget  in  the  student  habits  of  indolence,  or  weaken  his  self-reliance  in  the  preparation  of  his 
allotted  task.  The  book  is  enriched  with  copious  references  to  Iladley's  Greek  Grammar  and 
Goodwin's  Moods  and  Tenses  of  the  Greek  Verb,  prepared  by  these  distinguished  scholars 
expressly  for  this  edition.  With  such  grammatical  helps,  no  student,  with  common  diligence 
in  the  use  of  them,  can  fail  to  master  the  Homeric  forms  and  peculiarities  of  syntax,  and  be- 
come thoroughly  versed  in  the  literature  of  this  great  poem.  Besides  the  text  and  notes,  a 
summary  of  contents  is  prefixed,  and  appended  are  full  Grammatical  and  Historical  Indexes, 
which  enable  the  reader  to  turn  to  any  unusual  construction,  or  to  the  exploits  of  any  person- 
age, without  labor  or  delay.  The  book  contains  740  duodecimo  pages,  and  is  bound  in  the 
most  durable  style. 


From  Prof.  Howard  Crosby,  D.  D.,  Rutgers  Col- 
Uge. 

"Dr.  Owen's  edition  of  the  Iliad,  with  its  beautiful 
type,  Its  judicious  notes,  and  its  valuable  grammatical 
and  historical  indexes,  is  the  best  I  find  to  put  into 
the  hands  of  the  student  It  bears  the  excellent  qual- 
ities of  Dr.  Owen's  entire  Series  of  the  Greek  Classics, 
which  are  highly  appreciated  in  the  schools  and  col- 
leges of  our  country." 

From  Pbof.  Tayleb  Lewis,  LL.  D.,  Union  College. 

"Dr.  Owen's  Classics,  especially  his  Anabasis, 
Odyssey,  and  Iliad,  I  have  invariably  used  in  my 
teaching  ever  since  their  first  publication.  In  respect 
to  some  of  them,  this  has  been  the  case  for  more  than 
3fteen  years.  So  long  and  steady  a  knowledge  more 
and  more  confirms  my  appreciation  of  their  great 
value  in  a  course  of  classical  education,  and  I  know 
\f  no  better  testimony  I  can  give  in  this  respect  than 
ihe  statement  of  the  fact." 


From  Pbof.  A.  Bareness.  Pu.T>..£rozvn  University. 

uFrom  a  long  acquaintance  with  Dr.  Owen's  ex- 
cellent editions  of  the  Greek  Classics,  I  have  become 
deeply  impressed  with  their  superior  value,  and  with 
their  wise  adaptation  to  the  wants  of  the  classical 
schools  and  colleges  of  our  country.  Having  tested 
several  of  them  in  the  class-room,  especially  the  edi- 
tions of  Thucydides  and  the  Iliad,  I  take  pleasure  in 
expressing  my  appreciation  of  their  rare  merits. 
Tbeir  accomplished  editor  has  brought  to  his  work 
sound  philological  principles,  rich  stores  of  classical 
learning,  and  the  ripe  experience  of  a  life  of  practical 
instruction." 

From  the  Bibliotheca  Sacra, 
"The  paper  and  typography  of  the  voiume  are  all 
which  could  be  desired.  The  letters  are  exceedingly 
attractive  to  the  eye  accustomed  to  the  small  print 
and  wretched  paper  of  some  of  the  German  editions. 
The  Iliad  can  now  be  studied  to  the  t  tmost  advantap* 
by  the  advarced  scholar,"

BY  JOHN  J.   OWE^,   13.  D.,  LL.D., 

PROFESSOR  OF   ANCTEKT  LANGUAGES  IN   THE  NEW  YORK  FBEE  ACADEMY. 

This  edition  of  the  Acts  of  the  Apostles  is  an  exact  reprint  of  Dr.  Robinson's  edition  of 
Hahn's  Novum  Testamentnm  Greece,  published  by  Messrs.  Leavitt  &  Co.  in  1842,  which  is 
perhaps  as  accurate  an  edition,  on  the  whole,  as  can  now  be  found.  Recent  discoveries  and 
recensions  of  manuscripts  may  have  justified  some  changes ;  but,  so  far  as  this  portion  of  the 
Xew  Testament  is  concerned,  they  are  quite  unimportant,  in  no  instance  very  seriously  affect- 
ing the  sense  of  the  text.  The  object  of  the  Editor  in  preparing  this  volume  was,  to  secure,  if 
possible,  the  introduction  of  a  portion  of  the  Greek  Testament  into  the  prescribed  and  regular 
course  of  classical  study  in  our  academies  and  colleges.  The  Acts  of  the  Apostles  was  selected 
as  being  admirably  adapted,  both  in  subject  and  style,  to  interest  the  student  and  secure  his 
moral  and  intellectual  improvement.  The  type  is  of  that  plain  and  beautiful  kind  called  Por- 
sonian,  which,  at  the  special  instance  of  the  Editor,  was  imported  by  Mr.  J.  F.  Trow,  to  be 
used  in  this  and  kindred  works.  The  boldness  and  clearness  of  this  letter,  together  with  the 
pains  taken  to  avoid  a  crowded  page,  it  is  hoped  will  prove  attractive  to  such  students  as  may 
jse  the  book  in  preparation  for  the  class  exercise.  The  Editor  commits  the  work  to  his  friends 
and  the  public,  with  the  hope  that  it  will  not  only  advance  the  general  interests  of  classical 
literature,  but  turn  the  attention  of  students  to  the  Word  of  God  in  its  original  language,  by 
the  study  of  which  alone  its  treasures  may  be  fully  possessed. 


From  Prof.  S.  H.  Taylor,  LL.  D.,  Phillips  Acad- 
emy, Andocer,  Mass. 

"  From  the  use  which  I  have  made  of  Prof.  Owen's 
Acts  of  the  Apostle?,  I  have  formed  a  very  favorable 
opinion  of  it  as  a  text-book  in  a  classical  course  of 
study.  The  Greek  has  much  more  of  a  classical  char- 
acter than  most  of  the  New  Testament ;  the  history 
itself  is  interesting,  and  the  Notes  are  happily  adapted 
to  meet  the  wants  of  the  student.  The  map,  the  beau- 
tiful type,  the  clear,  judicious  notes,  and  the  lexicon, 
together  afford  the  student  a  very  attractive  and  val- 
uable apparatus  for  the  successful  study  of  this  por- 
tion of  the  Scriptures  in  the  original  tongue.  The 
desirableness  of  connecting  such  a  portion  of  the  New 
Testament  Greek  with  the  usual  classical  course,  few 
will  doubt.  Prof.  Owen  has  done  a  valuable  service 
in  the  preparation  of  this  edition,  as  in  the  other  im- 
portant works  which  he  has  published.'" 
From  Prof.  B  D.  C.  Bobbins,  MiddUbury  College. 

"  I  have  us<*l  the  volume  of  Prof.  Owen's  Classical 
Series,  containing  the  Acts  of  the  Apostles,  as  a  text- 
book for  a  Monday  morning  exercise  with  the  Sopho- 
more class  in  college,  and  have  found  it  very  con- 
renient  and  useful.  The  Notes  are  brief  and  to  the 
point;  so  much  so,  that  they  have  often  made  me 


wish  that  he  had  extended  them  somewhat  more. 
Still  they  are  all  that  a  student  needs  in  a  text -book 
for  the  recitation-room." 

From  Prof.  N.  H.  Griffin,  Williams 


"  I  highly  prize  Prof.  Owen's  Acts  of  the  Apostles, 
and  consider  it  admirably  fitted  for  the  purpose  he 
intended  it  The  plan  of  introducing  the  Sacred  Text 
into  our  institutions  is  one  which,  I  think,  will  find 
much  favor.11 

From  the  Xew  York  Observer. 

"  The  aim  of  Dr.  Owen,  '  to  secure  the  introduc- 
tion of  a  portion  of  the  Greek  Testament  into  the 
prescribed  and  regular  course  of  classical  study  in 
academies  and  colleges,'  is  worthy  of  commendation, 
and  we  trust  will  be  carried  out  by  the  faculties  of 
these  institutions.  This  edition  is  all  that  could  be 
desired,  and  indeed  all  that  the  most  enthusiastic  and 
indefatigable  dftvotion  to  the  task  could  make  it.  The 
text  is  the  most  accurate  and  approved.  The  type  is 
clear  and  beautiful,  altogether  the  most  attractive 
that  we  have  seen  in  American  typography,  and  the 
whole  mechanical  execution  of  the  work  is  above 
praise."

This  edition  of  Thucydides,  the  only  one  yet  published  in  this  country,  is  recommended  by 
all  the  leading  professors  in  our  American  colleges,  and  by  many  of  the  ablest  scholars  abroad, 
as  one  of  the  best  to  which  the  student  has  access.  It  is  an  elegant  12mo  volume  of  700 
pages,  printed  in  beautiful  type,  on  clear  fine  paper,  with  a  Map  from  Kiepert,  Summaries, 
Historical  Indexes,  References  to  the  best  Grammars,  &e.

"Your  Homer  and  Thucydidcs  occupy  the  first 
place  in  my  recommendations  of  editions  of  those 
authors  for  use  in  the  classes." 

From  Pkof.  J.  B.  Boise,  University  of  Michigan. 

u  I  have  always  considered  Dr.  Owen's  editions  of 
the  ancient  Greek  classical  authors  to  be  among  the 
best  and  safest  guides  for  American  students.  My 
classes  have  been  in  the  habit  of  using  especially  his 
editions  of  Thucydides  and  Homer's  Iliad  since  their 
first  publication.  Dr.  Owen  has  taken  pains  to  select 
the  best  test,  and  his  explanatory  notes  are  neither 
too  copious  nor  too  limited,  and  they  seldom  fail  to 
hit  the  points  which  require  elucidation.*' 

From  Prof.  A.  C.  Kendrick,  D.  D.,  Rochester  Uni- 
versity. 

"Dr.  Owen  has  rendered  a  most  important  service 
to  the  cause  of  Classical  Education  by  his  valuable 
series  of  Greek  text-books.  The  Notes  are  reliable 
and  to  the  point.  His  edition  of  Thucydides  is  espe- 
cially valuable  on  account  of  the  scantiness  of  aids  in 
this  country  for  understanding  that  difficult  yet  most 
instructive  author."

"  1  am  using  Prof.  Owen's  Odyssey  in  my  classes

cydides whenever  I  have  an  opportunity." 


From  the  North  American  Review. 
"  We  feel  no  scruple  in  saying  that  Prof.  Owen  has 
rendered  one  of  the  highest  services  to  classical  learn- 
ing, by  furnishing  the  colleges  with  this  excellent  edi- 

102 


tion.  "We  heartily  commend  the  book  to  the  regards 
of  teachers,  confident  that  they  will  find  It  really  en- 
titled to  the  praises  we  have  bestowed.  As  a  proof 
of  the  estimation  in  which  it  is  held,  we  mention  that 
It  is  introduced  into  the  course  of  studies  in  Harvard 
College." 

From  the  Bibliotheca  Sacra. 
(By  Prof.  Hadlet,  of  Yale  College.) 
"A  large  mass  of  valuable  materials  was  placed  at 
the  disposal  of  the  American  editor,  and  Dr.  Owen  has 
shown  that  he  is  acquainted  with  these  materials  and 
understands  their  value.  He  has  used  them  abun- 
dantly, but  not  indiscriminately,  exercising  an  inde- 
pendent judgment,  and  keeping  constantly  in  view 
the  circumstances  and  wants  of  the  class  for  whom 
his  work  is  intended.  .  .  .  One  of  the  most  striking 
features  of  the  present  work  is  the  attention  every- 
where paid  to  the  train  of  thought,  narrative,  and 
argument  of  the  original  Each  chapter  is  introduced 
in  the  commentary  by  a  full  analysis  of  its  contents; 
and  in  many  cases  a  series  of  chapters,  forming  a  sep- 
arate whole,  has  a  special  introduction,  defining  its 
subject,  and  presenting  a  general  conspectus  of  its 
structure.  .  .  .  We  have  read  over  with  much  satis- 
I  faction  the  notes  by  which  the  editor  has  sought  to 
make  the  Funeral  Oration  of  Pericles  —  a  speech 
scarcely  less  celebrated  for  its  difficulty  than  its  ex 
cellence  —  intelligible  to  the  student." 

From  the  New  York  Observer. 
"  It  has  frequently  been  our  pleasure  to  speak  oi 
the  results  of  Prof.  Owen's  editorial  labors  in  the  rich 
soil  of  the  Greek  classics ;  but  we  have  met  with 
nothing  from  his  careful  and  critical  pen  that  reflects 
so  much  credit  upon  him  and  American  letters  as  th» 
work  before  us."

This  edition — the  only  one  published  in  this  country — was  prepared  at  the  request  of  sov- 
eral  distinguished  professors  who  wished  that  an  edition,  abreast  with  the  most  recent  philolog- 
.cal  helps,  might  be  made  accessible  to  their  pupils.  Its  beautifully  clear  type,  and  judicious 
notes,  render  it  one  of  the  most  popular  text-books,  not  to  speak  of  the  great  interest  which 
must  ever  attach  itself  to  this  most  charming  poem  of  antiquity.

"  I  have  read  the  greater  part  of  your  book,  with 
unmixed  pleasure.  You  have  hit  the  nail  precisely 
on  the  head.  We  use  the  book  with  the  Freshmen." 

From  President  "Woolsey,  Yale  College. 

"I  have  examined  parts  of  Prof.  Owen's  Odyssey 
with  some  care,  and  see  in  it  the  same  excellence 
which  existed  in  his  edition  of  the  Anabasis.  He  has 
used  with  diligence  all  the  best  helps,  and  has  usually 
chosen,  so  far  as  I  have  noticed,  the  best  explanations 
with  free,  independent  judgment,  and  has  placed  be- 
fore the  student  an  apparatus  for  the  study  of  the 
Odyssey  such  as  I  know  of  nowhere  else  in  the  Eng- 
lish language.  In  particular,  his  is  the  first  edition 
for  school  and  college  use,  within  my  acquaintance, 
where  the  very  important  labors  of  Nitzsch  have  been 
made  use  of." 
From  Peof.  J.  E.  Boise,  University  of  Michigan. 

""With  the  flattering  notices  of  Prof.  Owen's  excel- 
lent edition  of  the  Odyssey  which  have  already  ap- 
peared, I  fully  concur.  The  editor  understands  the 
wants  of  the  student,  and  possesses  much  skill  in 
meeting  them.'" 


From  the  Xorth  American  Review. 

"We  have  carefully  read  a  large  portion  of  the 
notes,  and  it  is  but  justice  to  the  accomplished  editcr, 
who  is  one  of  the  most  distinguished  classical  teachers 
in  our  country,  to  say  that  they  are  excellently  adapt- 
ed to  the  instruction  of  the  young  classical  scholars 
for  whom  they  were  designed.  They  are  learned 
without  pedantry,  and  concise  without  obscurity,  and 
they  abound  in  elegant  criticism.  For  the  first  time 
a  useful  and  scholarlike  edition  of  this  most  delightful 
narrative  poem  of  antiquity  has  appeared  in  the  Uni- 
ted States;  and  the  favorable  reception  it  has  met 
with,  is  a  good  omen  for  the  cause  of  ancient  litera- 
ture among  us." 

From  the  Princeton  Biblical  Repertory. 

"  The  volume  here  produced  is  convenient,  beauti- 
ful, and  well  furnished  with  notes,  which  explain  mat- 
ters as  well  of  archaeology  as  of  exegesis.  "We  heartily 
thank  the  able  editor  for  thus  contributing  to  our 
school  apparatus  what  is  at  present  the  only  complete 
American  edition  of  this  most  delightful  of  all  po-

12mo.  338  pages.  Price  $2.00. 

It  has  been  the  object  of  the  Editor  to  furnish  beginners  with  a  book  not  bo  bulky  with 
heavy  extracts  from  difficult  authors  as  to  discourage  them,  but  one  which  is  both  inviting  and 
thorough,  and  which  leads  by  easy  and  pleasant  stages  from  the  usual  selection  of  fables, 
dialogues,  and  short,  pithy  sayings,  to  the  more  sedate  and  difficult  portions  of  history  and 
poetry.  Every  extract  has  been  made  with  reference  to  the  combination  of  an  easy  and 
simple  style  with  stirring  incidents,  in  order  that  the  student  may  be  interested  in  the  subject 
of  his  recitation.  The  text  is  in  the  beautiful  and  clear  Porsonian  type,  with  generous  spacing, 
so  as  to  make  the  page  attractive  to  the  eye  of  the  young  student.  The  notes  arc  copious, 
yet  not  so  much  so  as  to  weaken  habits  of  self-reliance,  or  beget  the  practice  of  depending 
upon  others  for  the  solution  of  every  point  of  more  than  ordinary  difficulty.  The  Lexicon  is 
not  a  mere  Clavis,  so  fatal  to  sound  and  independent  scholarship,  but  full,  logical,  and  ex- 
haustive. It  is  believed  that  all  who  use  this  book,  will  find  it  a  useful  auxiliary  in  the  prep- 
aration of  students  for  the  collegiate  stage  of  education. 


From  Prof.  S.  1L  Taylor,  LL  D.,  Phillips  Acad- 
emy, Andover,  Mass. 
"Prof.  Owen's  Greek  Reader  is  a  very  beautiful 
hook,  and  will  certainly  be  most  attractive  to  any 
schoolboy.  The  selections  he  has  made  are  well 
adapted  to  interest  the  student— a  circumstance  that 
aas  been  too  much  overlooked  in  the  preparation  of 
books  for  those  who  are  just  beginning  a  foreign 
language.  The  Notes  are  just  what  the  student 
needs,  sufficiently  full,  yet  not  unnecessarily  so. 
The  frequent  references  to  the  Grammar  are  of  great 
value  in  making  tho  student  familiar  in  his  earlier 
stages  of  study  with  the  nicer  principles  and  idioms 
of  the  language.  The  book,  it  seems  to  me,  is  well 
fitted  in  all  its  parts  to  awaken  interest  in  the  study 
of  the  Greek,  and  to  develop  the  riches  of  that  noble 
language." 


From  Prof.  A.  J.  Phipps,  New  Bedford,  Jfass. 

u  I  have  been  examining  with  some  care  Owen's 
Greek  Reader,  particularly  the  Notes,  and  am  so  well 
pleased  with  it  that  I  shall  hereafter  recommend  it  to 
my  pupils  in  preference  to  any  similar  work." 

From  W.  B.  Silber,  A.  M.,  Instructor  in  Greek  and 
Latin  in  the  New  York  Free  Academy. 

"The  editor  has  evinced  good  taste  and  excellent 
judgment  in  his  selections  both  of  prose  and  poetry, 
thus  affording  a  pleasing  variety  to  the  student  with- 
out the  risk  of  producing  wearisomeness  and  disgust. 

"The  notes  are  excellent  both  in  quantity  and  qual- 
ity, and  abound  in  references  to  the  grammars  of 
Sophocles,  Kuhner,  and  Buttmann.

Ollendorff's  French  Grammars  have  been  before  the  public  so  long,  and  have  had  their 
merits  so  generally  acknowledged,  that  it  is  unnecessary  to  enter  into  any  detailed  descrip- 
tion of  their  peculiarities  or  lengthy  argument  in  their  favor.  Suffice  it  to  say,  that  they 
are  founded  in  nature,  and  follow  the  same  course  that  a  child  pursues  in  first  acquiring 
his  native  tongue.  They  teach  inductively,  understandingly,  interestingly.  They  do  not 
repel  the  student  in  the  outset  by  obliging  him  to  memorize  dry  abstract  language  which 
conveys  little  or  no  idea  to  his  mind,  but  impart  their  lessons  agreeably  as  well  as  efficiently 
by  exercises,  which  teach  the  principles  successively  involved  more  clearly  than  any  abstract 
language  can.  They  give  a  conversational,  and  therefore  a  practically  useful,  knowledge 
of  the  language  ;  the  student  is  made  constantly  to  apply  what  he  learns.  To  these  pecu- 
liarities is  due  the  wide-spread  and  lasting  popularity  of  the  Ollendorff  series. 

Prof.  Greene's  Introduction,  the  first  of  the  works  named  above,  will  be  found  useful  for 
young  beginners.  In  it  are  presented  the  fundamental  principles  of  the  language,  carefully 
culled  out,  and  illustrated  with  easy  exercises.  It  paves  the  way  for  the  larger  works,  pre- 
paring the  pupil's  mind  for  their  more  comprehensive  course  and  awakening  in  it  a  desire 
for  further  knowledge. 

Value's  and  Jewett's  works  are  essentially  the  same,  though  differing  somewhat  in  their 
arrangement  and  the  additions  that  have  been  made  to  the  original.  Some  institutions 
prefer  one,  and  others  the  other  ;  either,  it  is  believed,  will  impart  a  thorough  acquaint- 
ance with  French,  both  grammatical  and  conversational,  by  an  interesting  process,  and 
with  but  little  outlay  of  time  and  labor.

It  is  claimed  that  the  lahor  of  teaching  and  learning  the  French  language  is  immensely 
reduced  hy  this  new  method,  and  the  success  of  the  pupil  placed  upon  a  footing  of  cer 
tainty  never  heretofore  attained.  The  general  characteristics  of  the  system  for  which 
this  claim  is  made  are  as  follows  :  1.  The  judicious  combination  of  Theory  and  Practice, 
Rule  and  Exercise,  in  their  just  proportion  to  each  other.  2.  A  new  Analysis  of  the  Ele- 
ments of  Language.  3.  The  presentation  of  a  Panoramic  View  of  the  French  Language 
as  a  whole.  4.  Teaching  one  thing  at  a  time,  and  proceeding  hy  Inductive  Steps.  5.  The 
thorough  examination  of  Complex  Sentences,  and  the  peculiar  force  and  relations  of  Con- 
necting Words.  6.  The  furnishing  of  so  complete  a  Key  to  the  Pronunciation  that  the 
American  can  teach  it  with  the  same  accuracy  and  facility  as  the  native  Parisian. 

The  Lessons  are  full ;  the  Rules,  clear  ;  the  Exercises,  short  and  simple.  They  emhody 
a  complete  course  of  Comparative  Grammar,  while  their  peculiar  arrangement  leaves  the 
teacher  free  as  to  the  use  to  he  made  of  the  theoretical  portions.  The  treatment  of  the 
Conjugations,  of  the  Gender  of  Nouns,  the  formation  of  the  Plural  of  Nouns  and  Adjec- 
tives, of  the  Feminine  of  Adjectives,  and  of  Adverhs,  will  be  found  novel  and  ingenious. 
The  Introduction,  the  Treatise  on  Pronunciation,  the  Remarks  on  the  Moods  and  Tenses, 
and  the  Philological  Notes  freely  interspersed,  contain  a  mass  of  information  on  the  French 
Language  which  would  he  sought  for  elsewhere  in  vain. 

The  student  who  is  without  a  teacher  will  find  himself  completely  guided,  hy  this  new 
method,  through  the  intricacies  of  French  Grammar  and  Pronunciation. 

Messrs.  Andrews  and  Batchelor's  System,  as  set  forth  in  these  two  volumes,  is  pro- 
nounced hy  accomplished  scholars  and  experienced  teachers  of  the  language,  the  hest  sys- 
tem yet  devised  in  this  or  any  other  country.  Desirous  of  getting  it  before  intelligent 
instructors,  the  publishers  have  issued  a  Circular,  setting  forth  the  peculiar  features  of  the 
system,  presenting  specimen  pages  of  both  volumes,  and  containing  a  selection  from  the 
numerous  strong  commendations  they  have  received  from  the  most  distinguished  educa- 
tors and  candid  critics  in  the  land.  This  Circular  will  be  sent  gratis,  on  application,  tc

A.s  soon  as  the  French  student  has  learned  enough  of  the  verh  to  enable  him  to 
translate,  this  volume  should  be  placed  in  his  hands.  It  embraces  ninety-two  carefully- 
selected  dialogues  on  e very-day  subjects,  calculated  to  familiarize  the  student  with  the 
most  necessary  expressions,  and  to  enable  him  to  converse  with  fluency.  The  dialogues 
are  followed  by  an  important  chapter  on  differences  of  idioms,  in  which  are  set  forth  those 
peculiarities  of  the  language  that  cannot  be  classified  under  general  rules,  accompanied  by 
grammatical  hints  and  explanations.  The  book  concludes  with  extensive  vocabularies  of 
words  arranged  according  to  subjects,  presenting  at  a  glance  the  principal  terms  relating 
to  the  several  arts,  trades,  and  professions.

The  title  of  this  volume,  given  in  full  above,  shows  its  scope  and  character.  The  conju- 
gation of  the  verbs,  regular  as  well  as  irregular,  is  the  great  difficulty  that  the  French 
student  has  to  encounter  ;  and,  to  aid  him  in  surmounting  it,  M.  Simonne  has  applied  hia

The  want  of  a  condensed  Grammar  for  teaching  Frenchmen  the  English  language,  long 
experienced  by  residents  as  well  as  travellers  in  this  country,  has  been  met  by  M.  Badoii? 
with  this  clear  and  practical  Treatise,  on  the  Ollendorff  plan.  In  the  course  of  a  few 
lessons,  the  learner  is  so  familiarized  with  the  most  necessary  English  words  and  idioms 
that  he  can  readily  express  himself,  and  can  understand  ordinary  conversation.  To  the 
grammatical  course  is  appended  a  series  of  Heading  Lessons,  accompanied  with  an  inter- 
linear translation,  which  renders  the  volume  complete,  and  makes  it  all  that  the  French 
student  can  require  for  the  acquisition  of  our  tongue.

THE  PUBLISHERS  CLAIM  FOR  TIII3  WORK, 

1.  That  it  is  a  revision  and  combination  of  (Spiers' )  the  best  defining  and  <vSi'Re.nne's) 
the  most  accurate  pronouncing  dictionary  extant. 

2.  That  in  this  work  the  numerous  errors  in  Spiers'  dictionary  have  been  carefully  and 
faithfully  corrected. 

3.  That  some  three  thousand  new  definitions  have  been  added.

and  illustrative  clauses  and  sentences. 

5.  That  several  thousand  new  phrases  and  idioms  are  embodied. 

6.  That  upwards  of  twelve  hundred  synonymous  terms  are  explained,  by  pointing  out 
their  distinctive  shades  of  meaning. 

7.  That  the  parts  of  all  the  irregular  verbs  are  inserted  in  alphabetical  order,  so  that  one 
reference  gives  the  mood,  tense,  person,  and  number.

ture, have  been  added.

sented by  corresponding  English  sounds,  and  vice  versa. 

10.  That  it  contains  a  full  vocabulary  of  the  names  of  persons  and  places,  mythological 
and  classical,  ancient  and  modern. 

11.  That  the  arrangement  is  the  most  convenient  for  reference  that  can  be  adopted. 

12.  That  it  is  the  most  complete,  accurate,  and  reliable  dictionary  of  these  languages 
published. 


From  Washington  Irving. 

As  far  as  I  have  had  time  to  examine  it,  it  appears 
to  me  that  Mr.  Quackenbos,  by  his  revision,  correc- 
tions, and  additions,  has  rendered  the  Paris  Edition, 
already  so  excellent,  the  most  complete  and  valuable 
lexicon  now  in  print" 

From  Wm.  H.  Pbescott. 

"In  the  copiousness  of  its  vocabulary  and  its  defini- 
tions, and  in  the  great  variety  of  idiomatic  phrases  and 
synonymes,  it  far  exceeds  any  other  French  and  English 
dictionary  with  which  I  am  acquainted." 


From  Theodore  Fbelingotttsen. 

"At  the  least,  the  pains  taken,  the  learning  evinced, 
and  the  substantial  improvements,  show  that  you  have 
lontributed  to  the  student  facilities  in  the  study  of  the 


French  for  which  you  deserve  their  patronage  and 
thanks." 

From  Joen  C.  Spencee. 
"  I  already  own  a  copy  of  Spiers1,  published  in  Paris 
and  Boston  in  1S49;  yours  appears  more  compact,  and 
yet  in  all  respects  equal  to  that,  and  in  definition  and 
pronunciation  superior.  Every  friend  of  education, 
indeed  every  man  of  taste,  must  be  highly  gratified 
at  the  appearance  of  such  noble  fruits  of  your  enter- 
prise." 

From  the  Professor  of  French  in  Loyola  College, 
Baltimore. 

"The  number  of  words  embodied,  the  different 
meanings  attached  to  them,  both  when  isolated  and 
when  in  phrase,  and  the  happy  choice  of  type  for 
the  convenience  of  the  scholar,  are  advantages  which 
will  be  sought  for  in  vain  elsewhere."

12mo.  388  pages.   Price  $1.50. 

The  French  Readers  of  M.  Dc  Fivas  possess  features  which  distinguish  them  strikingly, 
and,  it  is  believed,  favorably,  from  all  other  series.  The  pieces  presented  are  short,  lively, 
and  spirited ;  not  extracts  of  a  style  and  character  that  can  be  appreciated  only  by  a  matured 
and  cultivated  taste,  but  such  as  are  likely  to  attract  the  young.  Above  all,  they  are  pro- 
gressive ;  that  is,  the  pieces  are  selected  and  arranged  in  such  a  way  as  to  lead  the  pupil 
from  very  easy  to  difficult  constructions,  by  steps  so  gradual  that  they  are  hardly  perceived. 
Each  volume  contains  a  carefully-constructed  Vocabulary.  The  time  generally  lost  in 
searching  through  a  large  dictionary,  and  the  expense  of  an  additional  book,  are  thus  saved.

BY  PROFESSOR  A.  O.  COLLOT.

In  the  belief  that  dramatic  literature  affords  peculiar  facilities  for  familiarizing  the  stu- 
dent with  French  conversation  in  familiar,  as  well  as  more  elevated,  style,  Prof.  Collot  has 
brought  together  in  this  volume  fourteen  of  the  chefs-d'oeuvre  of  the  French  drama,  comedy 
and  tragedy,  by  such  authors  as  Scribe,  Piron,  Moliere,  Voltaire,  Racine,  and  Corneille. 
They  are  arranged  in  progressive  order,  and  furnished  with  notes  on  such  passages  as  require 
explanation.  Affording  entertaining  pictures  of  French  life,  as  well  as  specimens  of  the 
finest  style,  it  is  believed  that  this  collection  is  just  what  is  needed  for  advanced  classes.

in  order  to  adapt  them  to  the  capacity  of  youthful  students.

12mo.  341  pages.      Price  $1.50. 

One  object  of  this  volume  is  to  offer  specimens  of  the  French  language  as  it  is  spoken  at 
the  present  day,  and  presented  in  the  works  of  the  modern  authors  of  France,  without  the 
risk  of  sullying  the  mind  of  the  young  reader  by  indelicate  expressions  or  allusions.  An- 
other is  to  facilitate  the  task  of  the  teacher  by  rendering  the  work  attractive  to  the  pupil ; 
such  selections  have  therefore  been  made  as  will,  it  is  hoped,  be  interesting  and  entertain- 
ing to  the  young  reader,  while  at  the  same  time  they  will  prove  worthy  specimens  of  the 
peculiar  style  of  their  respective  authors. 

The  American  edition  is  rendered  still  more  .valuable  by  the  addition  of  extracts  from  the 
ivritings  of  Sismondi  and  Mignet,  modern  historians  of  distinguished  merit.  The  vocabu- 
lary of  new  and  difficult  words  and  idiomatic  phrases  is  conveniently  arranged  for  reference, 
and  considerably  enlarged  ;  while  the  whole  has  undergone  thorough  revision,  with  a  view 
to  accuracy  in  every  particular.  The  orthography  has  been  made  to  conform  to  that  of  tha 
Dictionary  of  the  Academy  and  the  usage  of  modern  writers.

Guide  to  French  Composition. 

BY  GUSTAVE  OHOUQUJBT. 
12mo.  297  pages.       Price  $1.25. 

This  volume  is  intended  to  serve  as  a  reading  and  translation  book,  a  text-book  on 
Rhetoric,  and  a  manual  of  French  composition  and  conversation.  The  First  Part  comprise* 
a  treatise  on  Rhetoric,  written  in  French,  but  applicable  to  all  languages,  which  will  dis- 
cipline the  mind  of  the  learner  in  the  elaboration  of  thought,  and  train  his  judgment  for 
Bound  literary  criticism.  The  Second  Part  is  devoted  to  Composition  proper ;  contains 
analyses  and  models  of  narrations,  descriptions,  dissertations,  letters,  &c. ,  and  a  list  of  sub- 
jects, on  which,  after  these  models,  the  pupil  is  required  to  try  his  powers. 

It  will  be  seen  that  this  work  is  intended  only  for  those  who  have  already  acquired  some 
knowledge  of  the  language  ;  for  Buch,  particularly  in  young  ladies'  schools,  it  is  admitted 
to  fill,  in  the  most  satisfactory  manner,  a  want  that  was  long  felt.  It  teaches  at  once 
French  and  Rhetoric— and  that  by  a  pleasant  and  easy  process.

A  phrase-book  is  essential  to  those  who  would  acquire  an  easy  style  of  conversation  in 
French.  Such  an  auxiliary  they  will  find  in  this  work  of  Chouquet's,  which  embraces 
dialogues  on  daily  occupations  and  ordinary  topics,  involving  those  idiomatic  expressions 
that  most  frequently  occur.  The  author  displays  judgment  in  his  choice  of  subjects,  and 
tact  in  adapting  himself  to  the  comprehension  of  the  young.  With  a  knowledge  of  the 
phrases  and  idioms  presented  in  this  volume,  the  student  can  take  part  in  ordinary  conver 
sation  with  fluency  and  elegance. 


French  as  Spoken  in  Paris. 

BY  MADAME  DE  PEYRAC. 

12mo.  252  pages.      Price  $1.50. 

'Comment  on  parle  a  Paris,"  or  how  they  speak  French  in  Paris,  is  certainly  a  very 
desirable  thing  to  know ;  with  the  aid  of  this  new  and  unique  manual  by  Madame  de 
Peyrac,  the  knowledge  may  be  gained  without  difficulty.  Her  volume  is  not  intended  for 
children,  but  for  those  who  have  partially  acquired  the  language,  and  need  only  familiarity 
with  an  elegant  style  of  conversation.  To  invest  the  subject  with  greater  interest,  the 
form  of  a  domestic  romance  is  adopted.  A  variety  of  characters  are  introduced,  and  lively 
tableaux  of  French  life  and  manners  are  presented.  Teachers  who  are  dissatisfied  with  the 
Readers  they  have  heretofore  employed  are  recommended  to  procure  and  examine  this  ad- 
mirable volume,  which  has  been  warmly  commended  by  critics  and  educators.

PROF.  OF  LATIN,  FRENCII,  AXD  GERMAN,  IN  THE  PACKER  COLLEGIATE  INSTITUTE. 

12mo.  366  pages.  $1.25. 

This  work  is  intended  for  students  who  already  have  a  partial  acquaintance  with  the 
French  language,  but  wish  to  acquire  a  more  thorough  knowledge  of  its  Syntax  than  can 
be  obtained  through  the  text-books  in  general  use.  It  is  arranged  in  the  same  manner  as 
the  practical  part  of  Poitevin's  Syntaxe  Frangaise.  The  examples  of  Syntax  are  mainly 
translations  of  passages  from  the  best  French  authors.  The  appendices — of  which  there 
are  ten — illustrate  various  difficult  points  in  French  grammar.

Madame  Coutan's  collection,  made  during  many  years  devoted  to  the  teaching  of  French, 
embraces  some  of  the  choicest  and  best  poetry  in  the  language.  While  it  is  peculiarly 
adapted  to  young  ladies'  schools,  there  is  no  class  of  students  or  general  readers  to  whom 
it  will  not  prove  an  acceptable  and  instructive  companion.

Fenelon's  world-renowned  Telemaque  will  always  retain  its  popularity  as  a  Reader  for 
French  classes,  on  account  of  the  purity  of  its  style,  the  interest  of  its  narrative,  and  the 
excellence  of  its  moral.  The  present  edition  is  convenient  in  form,  faultless  in  external 
appearance,  and  as  correct  as  the  editorial  supervision  of  an  accomplished  scholar  like  Su- 
renne  can  make  it.

1  vol.  12mo.  432  pages.  $1.50. 


In  the  whole  circle  of  polite  literature  we  scarcely 
know  of  any  production  in  modern  times,  that  has 
heen  honored  with  such  lavish  encomiums  as  tho 
celebrated  work,  by  Mad.  De  StacL,  entitled  ■  Co- 
rinne,  or  Italy."  On  its  first  appearance,  the  French 
capital  was  eloquent  in  its  enthusiastic  bursts  of  ap- 
plause. We  find  the  following  criticism  by  one  of 
the  leading  pens  of  Paris:  "In  literature,  strictly  so 
called,  and  out  of  the  sphere  of  politics,  '  Corinne'  is 
the  master-piece  of  Mad.  De  StaCd.  It  is  the  shin- 
bag,  immortal  work,  that  first  acquired  her  a  rank 
among  great  writers.  It  is  a  work  of  genius,  in 
which  two  different  objects,  a  romance  and  a  picture 
of  Italy,  are  intimately  amalgamated ;  it  is  at  once  a 
work  of  art  and  a  work  of  feeling— a  poem  and  a 
display  of  the  heart.  There  is  an  extreme  freshness 
and  vivacity  in  the  expressions ;  yet  we  perceive  in 
them  an  ingenious  erudition.  The  latter  part  of  the 
work  forms  a  complete  contrast  with  the  beginning: 
the  most  gloomy  tint  pervades  it,  exhibiting  what 
may  be  termed  a  fearful  display  of  the  talent  of  de- 
picting grief— those  nice  shades  which  mark  the  de- 
grees of  sorrowful  feeling,  and  fix,  if  the  expression 
may  be  allowed,  the  fugitive  miseries  of  the  heart.  I 


The  multitude  of  eloquent  passages  and  enchanting 
pictures  which  adorn  this  extraordinary  production, 
do  not  impair  in  the  least  the  interest  of  the  fiction, 
as  the  authoress  has  skilfully  introduced  the  digres- 
sion, only  where  the  progress  of  the  action  is  sus- 
pended, when  the  reader  is  even  afraid  of  its  resum- 
ing its  course,  and  when  he  enjoys  a  moment  of 
repose,  so  much  the  more  because  he  is  sensible  of 

an  approaching  storm  'Corinne1  is  a  work 

adapted  to  all  readers.  From  its  brilliant  pictures 
the  artist  may  derive  fresh  enthusiasm,  with  new 
means  of  expressing  it ;  the  learned  may  acquire  in- 
genious comparisons  and  new  imagery;  the  tourist 
to  the  classic  land  of  the  old  world,  the  most  im- 
portant and  judicious  hints." 

From  Sie  James  Mackintosh. 

"  I  swallow  1  Corinne '  slowly,  that  I  may  taste 
every  drop;  I  prolong  my  enjoyment,  and  really 
dread  its  termination.  Powerful  and  extraordinary 
book!— a  single  sentence  has  excited  more  feeling, 
and  exercised  more  reason,  than  the  most  faultless 
models  of  elecance."'

Few  books  have  maintained  their  popularity  in  the  schools  for  so  long  a  period  as  th6 
Ollendorff  series.  The  verdict  pronounced  in  their  favor,  on  their  first  appearance  in  Eu- 
rope, has  been  signally  confirmed  in  America.  The  publishers  have  received  the  strongest 
testimonials  in  relation  to  their  merits  from  the  press,  from  State  and  county  school  officers, 
from  principals  of  academies,  and  teachers  of  public  and  private  schools  in  all  sections  of 
the  country,  and  from  presidents  of  colleges  and  professors. 

The  German  Grammar  has  undergone  careful  revision  at  the  hands  of  a  ripe  scholar, 
whose  position  has  made  him  acquainted  with  the  wants  of  pupils  in  this  country.  He 
has  adapted  the  whole  to  their  necessities,  and  added  what  seemed  necessary  to  a  complete 
development  of  the  subject.

points  of  grammar  are  illustrated  by  means  of  written  exercises.  It  is  the  work  of  a  prac-

to  remove  them.

BRYAN'S  GRAMMAR,  FOR  GERMANS  TO  LEARN  ENGLISH*  Edited  by  Professob 
SCHMIEDER.    12mo.    189  pages.    Price  $1.25. 

The  publishers  have  got  out  these  volumes  in  view  of  the  great  number  of  Germans  r« 
siding  in  and  constantly  emigrating  to  the  United  States,  \\'a\\  whom  the  speedy  acquisi- 
tion of  English  is  a  highly  desirable  object.  To  aid  them  in  tins,  the  services  of  competent 
and  experienced  teachers  have  been  procured,  and  the  admirable  Grammars  named  above 
are  the  results  of  their  labors. 

The  Ollendorff  Grammar  embraces  a  full  and  complete  synopsis  of  English  Grammar, 
applied  at  every  step  to  practical  exercises.  It  is  constructed  according  to  the  "New 
Method,"  which  has  so  generally  approved  itself  to  public  favor.  A  month's  study  of  this 
volume  will  supply  the  learner  with  such  current  idioms  that  he  can  comprehend  ordinary 
conversation,  and  in  turn  make  himself  understood. 

Bryan's  Course  is  briefer,  and  better  adapted  for  primary  classes  and  those  whose  time  of 
study  is  limited.  It  presents  the  cardinal  principles  of  the  language,  well  arranged  and 
clearly  illustrated.  The  anomalies  of  English  syntax  are  handled  in  a  masterly  manner, 
and  the  general  treatment  of  the  subject  such  as  to  remove  from  it  all  difficulties  by  the 
way. 


Pronouncing  German  Reader. 

TO  WHICH  IS  ADDED  A  METHOD  OF  LEARNING  TO  READ  AND  UNDERSTAND  THE  GEE-

BY  J.  O.  (EHLSCHLAGER, 

PROFESSOR  OF  MODERN  LANGUAGES  IX  PHILADELPHIA. 

12ino.  254  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

This  Reader  is  intended  for  beginners  in  the  German  language  at  a  very  early  stage  of 
tneir  course.  It  devotes  more  space  to  pronunciation  than  any  other  grammar  or  reader 
extant,  and  will  infallibly  enable  those  who  attend  to  its  directions  to  read  with  ease  and 
elegance.  In  the  selection  of  the  pieces  no  regard  has  been  paid  to  mere  beauty  of  style  ; 
the  chief  object  of  the  compiler  was  to  choose  easy  passages  containing  a  number  of  roots. 
Instead  of  having  a  Dictionary  at  the  end,  this  volume  contains  a  Vocabulary  of  the  new 
woras  in  each  piece,  so  arranged  as  to  save  the  pupil  labor  while  it  does  not  take  from  him 
the  necessity  of  mental  effort.  A  summary  of  Grammar  is  appended,  which  will  be  found 
exceedingly  useful  as  a  Review.  As  this  Reader  affords  a  complete  Key  to  German  pro- 
nunciation, it  will  be  found  just  the  book  for  localities  in  which  a  native  teacher  can  not 
be  obtained  ;  for  those  who  are  their  own  instructors  and  for  the  use  of  American  teachers, 
it  combines  all  possible  advantages.

Pronouncing  Dictionary. 

BY  G.  J.  ADLER,  A.  M., 

PROFESSOR  OF  THE  GERMAN  LANGUAGE  AND  LITERATURE  IN  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 

One  elegant  large  8vo.  vol.  1400  pages.  Price  $6.00. 

The  aim  of  the  distinguished  author  of  this  work  has  "been  to  embody  all  the  valualJe 
results  of  the  most  recent  investigations  in  a  German  Lexicon,  which  might  become  not 
only  a  reliable  guide  for  the  practical  acquisition  of  the  language,  but  one  which  would 
not  forsake  the  student  in  the  higher  walks  of  his  pursuits,  to  which  its  treasures  would 
invite  him. 

In  the  preparation  of  the  German  and  English  Part,  the  basis  adopted  has  been  the  work' 
of  Fliigel,  compiled  in  reality  by  Heimann,  Feiling,  and  Oxenford.  This  was  the  most 
complete  and  judiciously  prepared  manual  of  the  kind  in  England. 

The  present  work  contains  the  accentuation  of  every  German  word,  several  hundred 
synonymes,  together  with  a  classification  and  alphabetical  list  of  the  irregular  verbs,  and 
a  dictionary  of  German  abbreviations. 

The  foreign  words,  likewise,  which  have  not  been  completely  Germanized,  and  which 
often  differ  in  pronunciation  and  inflection  from  such  as  are  purely  native,  have  been  desig- 
nated by  particular  marks. 

The  vocabulary  of  foreign  words,  which  now  act  so  important  a  part,  not  only  in  scien 
tific  works,  but  in  the  best  classics  reviews,  journals,  newspapers,  and  even  in  conversa- 
tion, has  been  copiously  supplied  from  the  most  complete  and  correct  sources.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  in  the  terminology  of  chemistry,  mineralogy,  the  practical  arts,  commerce, 
navigation,  rhetoric,  grammar,  mythology,  philosophy,  &c,  scarcely  a  word  will  be  found 
to  be  wanting. 

The  Second  or  German-English  Part  ol  this  volume  has  been  chiefly  reprinted  from  the 
work  of  Fliigel.  The  attention  which  has  been  paid  in  Germany  to  the  preparation  of 
English  dictionaries  for  the  German  student  has  been  such  as  to  render  these  works  very 
complete.   The  student,  therefore,  will  scarcely  find  any  thing  deficient  in  this  Second  Part.

With  a  view  of  offering  to  the  student  of  German  such  a  portion  of  his  larger  work  as 

would  embody  the  most  general  and  important  lexicographical  elements  of  the  language 

in  the  smallest  possible  compass,  the  author  has  gone  over  the  entire  ground  of  the  larger 

work — revising,  condensing,  or  adding,  as  the  case  might  require.    All  provincialisms, 

Bynonymes,  and  strictly  scientific  terms,  have  been  excluded  from  these  pages,  and  every 

thing  that  might  prove  unnecessary  or  embarrassing  to  beginners,  or  to  travellers,  and 

others  for  whom  a  smaller  volume  is  better  adapted.

The  plan  of  this  German  Reader  is  as  follows  : 

1.  The  pieces  are  both  prose  and  poetry,  selected  from  the  best  authors,  and  present 
sufficient  variety  to  keep  alive  the  interest  of  the  scholar. 

2.  It  is  progressive  in  its  nature,  the  pieces  being  at  first  very  short  and  easy,  and  in- 
creasing in  difficulty  and  length  as  the  learner  advances. 

3.  At  the  bottom  of  the  page  constant  references  to  the  Grammar  are  made,  the  difficult 
passages  are  explained  and  rendered.  To  encourage  the  first  attempt  of  the  learner  aa 
much  as  possible,  the  twenty-one  pieces  of  the  first  section  are  analyzed,  and  all  the  neces- 
sary words  given  at  the  bottom  of  the  page.  The  notes,  which  at  first  are  very  abundant, 
diminish  as  the  learner  advances. 

4.  It  contains  five  sections.  The  first  contains  easy  pieces,  chiefly  in  prose,  with  all  the 
words  necessary  for  translating  them  ;  the  second,  6hort  pieces  in  prose  and  poetry  alter- 
nately, with  copious  notes  and  renderings  ;  the  third,  short  popular  tales  of  Grimm  and 
others ;  the  fourth,  select  ballads  and  other  poems  from  Burger,  Goethe,  Schiller,  Uhland, 
Schwab,  Chamisso,  &c.  ;  the  fifth,  prose  extracts  from  the  first  classics. 

5.  At  the  end  is  added  a  vocabulary  of  all  the  words  occurring  in  the  book. 

The  pieces  have  been  selected  and  the  notes  prepared  with  great  taste  and  judgment,  90 
much  so  as  to  render  the  book  a  general  favorite  with  German  teachers.

A  Practical  Grammar  of  the  German 

Language. 

BY  HERMAN  T>.  WRAGE,  A.  M. 
12mo.  315  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

The  question,  "  What  is  the  proper  method  of  studying  a  foreign  language  ?  "  is  one  that 
has  occupied  the  attention  of  some  of  the  deepest  thinkers.  Of  all  who  have  ever  written 
on  this  subject,  M.  Marcel,  in  his  work,  "  The  Study  of  Languages,"  has  most  nearly  ap- 
proached the  solution  of  the  problem  ;  and  we  would  advise  both  teachers  and  scholars, 
before  commencing  the  study  of  a  foreign  language,  carefully  to  peruse  the  book  referred  to, 
Avhich,  having  been  written  in  a  tongue  foreign  to  the  author,  is  in  itself  the  very  best  proof 
of  the  correctness  of  the  views  developed  on  its  pages. 

Self-evident  though  it  seems  to  be  that  the  proper  function  of  grammar  is  to  teach  us  to 
speak  and  write  a  language  correctly,  and  that,  consequently,  before  being  able  to  do  so,  we 
must  be  able,  at  least  to  a  certain  degree,  to  speak  and  write,  yet  most  of  the  methods  now 
in  use  pursue  the  very  opposite  course,  requiring  the  pupil  to  commit  to  memory  grammati- 
cal rules,  followed  by  isolated  sentences  so  forced  and  unnatural  as  to  render  it  apparent 
that  they  were  made  expressly  as  illustrative  of  those  rules. 

The  present  work  contains^  in  sixty  lessons,  the  fundamental  principles  of  the  German 
language ;  and  these  are  not  embodied  in  set  rules,  but  indicated  at  the  head  of,  and  de- 
veloped in,  each  lesson.  This  plan,  however,  does  not  of  necessity  render  the  book  useless 
for  those  teachers  who  prefer  the  old  system ;  on  the  contrary,  their  convenience  has  been 
kept  in  view  by  the  author  in  preparing  the  work,  and  the  exercises  will  be  found  to  offer 
ready  illustrations  of  the  rules  of  grammar,  which  must  be  given  by  the  master  as  he  pro- 
ceeds. 

The  German,  as  a  glance  at  the  declensions  of  its  nouns,  pronouns,  etc.,  and  the  conjuga- 
tions of  its  verbs,  will  show,  is  a  highly-inflected  language,  giving  the  most  complete  exem- 
plification of  case-ending  afforded  by  any  modern  language,  and  this  feature  constitutes  the 
chief  difficulty  encountered  by  the  Englishs-peaking  student.  Much  has  been  done,  how- 
ever, in  this  work  to  lessen  the  difficulty,  by  treating  the  cases  separately  in  separate  lessons, 
and  also  in  the  order  of  their  difficulty,  namely :  Nominative,  Accusative,  Genitive,  Dative. 

As  impression  must  precede  expression,  or,  in  other  words,  as  the  pupil  must  for  a  con- 
siderable length  of  time  be  engaged  in  learning  to  understand  a  foreign  language  when  seeing 
and  hearing  it,  before  he  can  successfully  attempt  to  speak  and  write  it,  the  Heading  Exer- 
cises added  to  each  lesson  are  without  exception  in  German.  Nor,  in  going  through  the  book 
for  the  first  time,  should  the  pupil  be  required  to  translate  into  German  the  English  Exer- 
cises, which  would  then  be  too  difficult,  but  they  might  be  used  by  the  teacher  as  oral  exer- 
cises, giving  the  German  version  thereof  to  his  scholars,  and  requiring  of  them  to  render  the 
same  into  correct  English. 

Another  commendable  feature,  in  our  conception,  is  the  placing  of  foot-notes  for  the 
Reading  Exercises,  instead  of  requiring  the  scholar  to  grope  for  words  in  a  dictionary  at  the 
end  of  the  book.  For,  to  say  nothing  of  the  fact  that  the  most  numerous  and  the  most  im- 
portant words  in  every  language  (Verbs,  Nouns,  and  Adjectives)  require  various  translations, 
according  'to  the  connection  in  which  they  occur,  and  that  these  various  meanings  would  have 
to  be  separately  stated  in  a  dictionary — thereby  increasing  the  difficulty  for  the  scholar  in 
search  for  the  correct  one — experience  teaches  that  comparatively  few  students  of  foreign 
languages  can  be  induced  to  use  dictionaries.

The  present  edition  of  Gesenius'  standard  Hebrew  Grammar  lias  been  carefully  translated 
from  the  seventeenth  German  edition,  recently  published  after  a  careful  revision  by  the 
learned  Rodiger.  In  its  present  improved  state,  it  embodies  all  that  is  known  of  Ilebrew 
philology. 

A  course  of  grammatical  exercises,  to  aid  the  learner  in  acquiring  and  applying  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  elementary  principles  of  reading  and  inflection  and  in  the  analysis  of  forms,  has 
been  appended  by  Professor  Conant.  To  these  is  added  a  Chrcstomathy,  consisting  of 
grammatical  and  exegetical  notes  on  numerous  reading-lessons  selected  from  Scripture, 
suited  to  the  wants  of  the  student.  Great  pains  have  been  taken  to  insure  correctness  in 
the  text ;  and,  throughout  the  whole  volume,  nothing  calculated  to  facilitate  the  learner's 
progress  has  been  overlooked  or  omitted.

Uhlemann's  Grammar  holds  the  same  rank  in  relation  to  the  Syriac  language  that  Gese- 
nius's  does  to  Hebrew.  It  is  not  only  the  most  accurate  and  comprehensive  Syriac  Gram- 
mar yet  compiled,  but  the  clearest  in  its  arrangement  and  explanations,  and  the  best  adapted 
to  the  student's  wants.  The  translator  has  enhanced  its  value  by  the  addition  of  copious 
exercises  and  an  admirable  Chrestomathy.  The  following  notices  will  show  the  estimation 
in  which  this  work  is  held  bv  our  best  scholars  : —

PRIMARY  LESSONS  IN  LEARNING  TO  READ,  WRITE,  AND  SPEAK  THE  ITALIAN 
LANGUAGE.  Introductory  to  the  Larger  Grammar.  By  G.  W.  GREENE.  18ino. 
238  pages.   Price  75  cents. 

OLLENDORFF'S  NEW  METHOD  OF  LEARNING  TO  READ,  WRITE,  AND  SPEAK  THE 
ITALIAN  LANGUAGE.  With  Additions  and  Corrections.  Br  E.  FELIX  FORESTI, 
LL.  D.    12mo.    533  pages.    Price  $1.50. — KEY.   Separate  volume.    Price  $1.00. 

In  Ollendorff' 6  grammars  is  for  the  first  time  presented  a  system  by  which  the  student 
can  acquire  a  conversational  knowledge  of  Italian.  This  will  recommend  them  to  practical 
students ;  while  at  the  same  time  there  is  no  lack  of  rules  and  principles  for  those  who 
would  pursue  a  systematic  grammatical  course  with  the  view  of  translating  and  writing  the 
language. 

Prof.  Greene's  Introduction  should  be  taken  up  by  youthful  classes,  for  whom  it  is 
specially  designed,  the  more  difficult  parts  of  the  course  being  left  for  the  larger  volume. 

The  advanced  work  has  been  carefully  revised  by  Prof.  Foresti,  who  has  made  such 
emendations  and  additions  as  the  wants  of  the  country  required.  In  many  sections  the 
services  of  an  Italian  teacher  cannot  be  obtained  ;  the  Ollendorff  Course  and  Key  will  there 
6upply  the  want  of  a  master  in  the  most  satisfactory  manner. 


From  the  United  States  Gazette. 
"The  system  of  learning  and  teaching  the  living  lan- 
guages by  Ollendorff  is  so  superior  to  all  other  modes, 
that  in  England  and  on  the  continent  of  Europe,  scarce- 
ly any  other  is  in  use,  in  well-directed  acfcdemies  and 


other  institutions  of  learning.  To  those  who  feel  dis- 
posed to  cultivate  an  acquaintance  with  Italian  litera- 
ture, this  work  will  prove  invaluable,  abridging,  by 
an  immense  deal,  the  period  commonly  employed  in 
studying  the  language." 


AN 

Elementary  Grammar  of  the  Italian  Language,  * 

PROGRESSIVELY  ARRANGED  FOR  THE  USE  OF  SCHOOLS  AND  COLLEGES. 

BY  O.  B.  FONTANA. 
12mo.  236  pp.  $1.50. 

The  object  of  this  work  is  to  present  the  language  as  spoken  to-day,  in  its  simplest  garb, 
both  theoretically  and  practically.  The  Grammar  is  divided  into  two  parts,  embracing  Sixty 
Lessons  and  Sixty  Exercises.  The  first  part  is  exclusively  given  to  rules  indispensable  to  a 
general  idea  of  the  language  ;  the  second  is  framed  for  those  who  are  desirous  of  having 
an  insight  into  its  theory,  and  consists  of  synonyms,  maxims,  idioms,  and  figurative 
expressions.  The  Exercises  of  both  parts  are  very  regularly  progressive, — and  those  of  the 
second  part  are  of  course  the  most  difficult.  Some  of  them  contain  extracts  from  celebrated 
poems  translated  into  plain  prose,  so  that  the  pupil  may  compare  his  Italian  translation  with 
the  original,  which  has  been  inserted  for  that  purpose  at  the  end  of  the  book.  Others  are 
biographical  sketches  of  the  most  prominent  among  the  Italian  writers ;  by  which  means 
the  pupil,  whilst  acquiring  the  language,  may  become  familiar  with  the  life  and  works  of 
some  of  the  classic  Italian  authors,  such  as  Manzoni,  Alfieri,  Tasso,  Petrarch,  and  the  father 
of  Italian  language  and  literature,  Dante  Alighieri.

being  to  present  a  picture  of  the  Italian  language  as  it  is  written  and  spoken  at  the  promt

EDITION,  REVISED  AND  ENLARGED.

Prof.  Aim's  method  is  one  of  peculiar  excellence,  and  has  met  with  great  success.  It 
has  been  happily  described  in  his  own  words:  "Learn  a  foreign  language  as  you  learned 
your  mother  tongue  " — in  the  same  simple  manner,  and  with  the  same  natural  gradations. 
This  method  of  the  distinguished  German  Doctor  has  been  applied  in  the  present  instance 
to  the  Spanish  Language,  upon  the  basis  of  the  excellent  Grammars  of  Lespada  and  Marti- 
nez, and  it  is  hoped  that  its  simplicity  and  utility  will  procure  for  it  the  favor  that  its  Ger- 
man, French,  and  Italian  prototypes  have  already  found  in  the  Schools  and  Colleges  of 
Europe. 


From  the  Penn.  School  Journal. 
This  is  not  a  work  of  so  large  pretensions,  as  many 
of  the  "new  and  easy  methods  of  learning1'  modern 
languages,  which  are  constantly  issuing  from  the 
press;  but  we  believe  it  to  be  based  upon  philo- 
sophic principles,  and  to  be  well  adapted  to  the  wants 
of  students,  old  and  young,  in  beginning  the  study  of 
Spanish.  The  system  is  that  adopted  by  Dr.  Ahn,  in 
his  European  grammar  of  German,  French,  and  Ital- 
ian, and  is  embraced  in  the  injunction,  "Learn  a 


Foreign  Language  as  you  learned  your  mother- 
tongue."'  It  is  the  same  which  the  mother  points 
out  in  speaking  to  her  child,  repeating  to  it  a  hun- 
dred times  the  same  words,  combining  them  imper- 
ceptibly, and  succeeding  in  this  way,  to  make  it  speak 
the  same  language  she  speaks.  The  book  is  prepared 
in  a  neat  and  convenient  form,  and  in  that  clear  and 
beautiful  style,  which  characterize  all  the  classical 
works  issued  from  this  well-known  publishing 
house.

The  admirable  system  introduced  by  Ollendorff  is  applied  in  this  volume  to  the  Spanish 
language.  Having  received,  from  the  two  distinguished  editors  to  whom  its  supervision 
was  intrusted,  corrections,  emendations,  and  additions,  which  specially  adapt  it  to  the 
youth  of  this  country,  it  is  believed  to  embrace  every  possible  advantage  for  imparting  a 
thorough  and  practical  knowledge  of  Spanish.  A  course  of  systematic  grammar  underlies 
the  whole  ;  but  its  development  is  so  gradual  and  inductive  as  not  to  weary  the  learner. 
Numerous  examples  of  regular  and  irregular  verbs  are  presented ;  and  nothing  that  can 
expedite  the  pupil's  progress,  in  the  way  of  explanation  and  illustration,  is  omitted. 


From  the  Republic. 
"  It  contains  the  best  rules  we  hare  ever  yet  seen 
for  learning  a  living  language.  It  leads  the  student 
on,  by  almost  imperceptible  steps,  from  the  simplest 
principles  to  the  most  recondite  and  complex  combi- 
nations of  grammatical  constructions;  and  the  parts 
are  so  arranged  as  to  render  every  thing  subservient  to 
that  which  should  be  the  chief  point  of  view,  the  great 
object  of  ambition,  viz.,  use,  speech,  conversation. 
Every  part  of  speech,  every  simple  and  compound 
sentence,  is  so  analyzed,  so  illustrated  by  explanatory 
dialogues,  that  it  is  impossible  to  open  the  book  at  any 


page  without  acquiring  some  valuable  information  ca- 
pable of  advancing  the  student  in  his  progress  as  a 
linguist."

12mo.  273  pages.  Price  $1.50. 
In  this  volume  are  embodied  the  results  of  many  years  experience  on  the  part  of  the 
author,  as  Professor  of  Spanish  in  the  University  of  Virginia.    It  aims  to  impart  a  critical 
knowledge  of  the  language  by  a  systematic  course  of  grammar,  illustrated  with  appropriate 
exercises.    The  author  has  availed  himself  of  the  labors  of  recent  grammarians  and  critics : 
and  by  condensing  his  rules  and  principles  and  rejecting  a  burdensome  superfluity  of  de- 
tail, he  has  brought  the  whole  within  comparatively  small  compass.    By  pursuing  this 
gimple  course,  the  language  may  be  easily  and  quickly  mastered,  not  only  for  conversa- 
tional purposes,  but  for  reading  it  fluently  and  writing  it  with  elegance.

M.  Simonne  has  done  a  good  work  in  bringing  the  French  language  within  the  reach  of 
Spaniards  by  this  application  of  the  Ollendorff  system.  A  few  weeks'  study  of  his  "  Gra- 
matica Francesa' '  will  impart  a  knowledge  of  the  more  common  conversational  idioms, 
and  a  thorough  mastery  of  it  will  insure  as  perfect  an  acquaintance  with  French  as  can  be 
desired.  With  the  aid  of  the  Key  the  study  can  be  pursued  without  a  master ;  for  the 
illustrative  exercises  at  once  show  whether  the  grammatical  rules  and  principles  succes- 
sively laid  down  are  properly  understood.

Large  8vo.  1300  pages.  Neat  type,  fine  paper,  and  strong  binding.  Price  $6.00. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  Castilian  language  is  so  clearly  set  forth  in  this  Dictionary,  aa 
to  render  it  well-nigh  impossible  for  any  person  who  can  read  English  readily,  to  fail  of 
obtaining  the  true  sounds  of  the  Spanish  words  at  sight. 

In  the  revision  of  the  work,  more  than  eight  thousand  words,  idioms,  and  familiar 
phrases  have  been  added. 

It  gives  in  both  languages  the  exact  equivalents  of  the  words  in  general  use,  both  in 
their  literal  and  metaphorical  acceptations. 

Also,  the  technical  terms  most  frequently  used  in  the  arts,  in  chemistry,  botany,  medi- 
cine, and  natural  history,  as  well  as  nautical  and  mercantile  terms  and  phrases — most  of 
which  are  not  found  in  other  Dictionaries. 

Also  many  Spanish  words  used  only  in  American  countries  which  were  formerly  depen 
dencies  of  Spain. 

The  names  of  many  important  articles  of  commerce,  gleaned  from  the  price-currents  of 
Spanish  and  South  American  cities,  are  inserted  for  the  benefit  of  the  merchant,  who  will 
here  find  all  that  he  needs  for  carrying  on  a  business  correspondence. 

The  parts  of  the  irregular  verbs  in  Spanish  and  English  are  here,  for  the  first  time,  given 
in  full,  in  their  alphabetical  order. 

The  work  likewise  contains  a  grammatical  synopsis  of  both  languages,  arranged  for 
ready  and  convenient  reference. 

The  new  and  improved  orthography  sanctioned  by  the  latest  edition  of  the  Dictionary  of 
the  Academy — now  universally  adopted  by  the  press — is  here  given  for  the  first  time  in  a 
Spanish  and  English  Dictionary.

"It  is  a  work  which  has  long  been  required,  and  to 
which  I  would  gladly  have  devoted  myself,  had  I  pos- 
sessed the  necessary  time  and  talent  for  such  an  under- 
taking.  I  therefore  rejoice  to  see  it  has  been  carried 
into  effect  by  so  able  a  scholar  as  SeQor  Velazquez; 
and  from  the  examination  I  have  been  able  10  make  of 
it,  it  appears  to  me  he  has  been  very  successful  in  his 
performance.   The  elegance  of  the  type  and  binding 
is  still  more  easily  observable. 

"  I  entertain  no  doubt  it  will  be  welcomed  both  in 
colleges  and  amongst  private  individuals,  since  hitherto 
there  has  been  no  Dictionary  calculated  to  meet  the 
wants  of  those  who  desire  to  acquire  a  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  our  language.  I  trust  its  success  may  equal 
its  merits." 


From  His  Excellency  Valentine  Canedo,  Captain- 
General  of  Cuba. 

"The  Pronouncing  Dictionary  of  the  Spanish  and 
English  Languages  by  Don  Mariano  Velazquez  de  la 
Cadena,  published  by  you,  having  been  examined,  and 
its  merit  acknowledged,  I  have  ordered  it  to  be  recom- 
mended by  the  Board  of  Education." 


From  His  Excellency  Mariano  Arista,  late  Presi- 
dent of  Mexico. 

"  Having  heard  the  favorable  opinions  which  the 
first  literati  have  made  of  the  work,  I  have  directed 
it  to  be  announced  in  the  Official  Gazette  and  other 
papers  of  this  capital ;  not  doubting  but  that  the  in- 
trinsic merit  of  the  work  itself  wil.  cause  it  to  b* 
sought  after  by  every  studious  person."

In  making  this  abridgment  from  the  octavo  edition,  the  author  has  constantly  kept  in 
view  the  wants  of  classes  beginning  the  study  of  Spanish.  By  rejecting  all  obsolete  words, 
unusual  phrases,  and  exclusively  scientific  terms,  as  well  as  other  superfluous  matter,  ha 
has  found  room  for  every  thing  likely  to  be  needed  by  the  ordinary  pupfl  cr  the  traveller, 
who  would  find  it  inconvenient  to  use  the  larger  work.  The  fine  typography,  scholarly 
arrangement,  and  remarkable  correctness  of  this  Abridgment,  have  made  it  the  acknowl- 
edged standard  school  dictionary  of  the  Spanish  language.

Colloquial  Phrase-book. 

AN  EAST  AND  AGREEABLE  METHOD  OF  ACQUIRING  A  SPEAKING  KNOWLEDGE  OF  THE 

SPANISH  LANGUAGE. 

BY  PROFESSOR  BUTLER. 
18mo.   293  pages.     Price  60  cents. 

The  object  of  the  author  is  to  make  the  Spanish  language  a  living,  speaking  tongue  to 
the  learner ;  and  the  method  he  adopts  is  that  of  nature.  He  begins  with  the  simplest 
elements,  and  progressively  advances,  applying  all  former  acquisitions  as  he  proceeds,  until 
the  learner  has  mastered  one  of  the  most  perfect  languages  of  modern  times. 


From  the  N.  T.  Journal  of  Commerce. 

"This  is  a  good  book,  and  well  fitted  for  the  purpo- 
ses for  which  it  is  designed.   The  Spanish  language  is 


one  of  great  simplicity,  and  more  easily  acquired  than 
any  other  modern  tongue.  For  a  beginner,  we  recom- 
mend this  little  book,  which  is  small,  and  designed  to 
be  carried  in  the  pocket"

Elementary  Spanish  Reader, 

BY  M.  F.  TOLON. 

12mo.  156  pages.  Price  $1.00. 

This  is  one  of  the  best  elementary  Spanish  Readers,  not  only  for  the  purposes  of  self- 
Instruction,  but  also  as  a  class-book  for  schools,  that  has  ever  been  published.  The  con- 
tents are  varied  in  style,  including  didactic,  descriptive,  colloquial,  historical,  and  poetical 
extracts,  drawn  from  the  purest  and  most  meritorious  writers.  The  orthography  conforms 
to  that  established  by  the  Royal  Academy.  A  full  Vocabulary  of  all  the  words  employed 
is  appended,  rendering  a  larger  dictionary  unnecessary. 


Progressive  Spanish  Reader: 

WITH  AN  ANALYTICAL  STUDY  OF  THE  SPANISH  LANGUAGE. 
BY  AGUSTIN  JOSE  MORALES,  A.M.,  H.  M., 

PROFESSOR  OF  THE  SPANISH  LANGCAGE  AND  LITERATURE  IX  THE  NET  TOUR  FREE  ACADEMY. 

12mo.  336  pages.   Price  $1.50. 

The  prose  extracts  in  this  volume  are  preceded  by  an  historical  account  of  the  origin  and 
progress  of  the  Spanish  Language,  and  a  condensed,  scholarlike  treatise  on  its  grammar ; 
the  poetical  selections  are  introduced  with  an  essay  on  Spanish  versification.  Prepared  in 
either  case  by  the  preliminary  matter  thus  furnished,  bearing  directly  on  his  work,  the  pupil 
enters  intelligently  on  his  task  of  translating.  The  extracts  are  brief,  spirited,  and  enter- 
taining ;  drawn  mainly  from  writers  of  the  present  day,  they  are  a  faithful  representation 
of  the  language  as  it  is  now  written  and  spoken.  The  arrangement  is  progressive,  speci- 
mens of  a  more  difficult  character  being  presented  as  the  student  becomes  able  to  cope 
with  them.

BY  M.  VELAZQUEZ  DE  LA  CAD  EN  A. 

12mo.  351  pages.  Price  $1.50. 

This  book,  being  particularly  intended  for  the  use  of  beginners,  has  been  prepared  with 
three  objects  in  view :  first,  to  fui*nish  the  learner  with  pleasing  and  easy  lessons,  pro- 
gressively developing  the  beauties  and  difficulties  of  the  Spanish  language  ;  secondly,  to 
enrich  their  minds  with  valuable  knowledge  ;  and  thirdly,  to  form  their  character,  by  in- 
stilling correct  principles  into  their  hearts.  In  order,  therefore,  to  obtain  the  desired 
effects,  the  extracts  have  been  carefully  selected  from  those  classic  Spanish  writers,  both 
ancient  and  modern,  whose  style  is  generally  admitted  to  be  a  pattern  of  elegance,  combined 
with  idiomatic  purity  and  sound  morality.

Reciprocal   Method   for  Learning 
Spanish  or  English, 

BY    PROF.    L .    F .  MANTILLA, 

OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  TUB  CITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 

12mo.  250  pages.  Price  $1.25. 

The  special  feature  of  this  METHOD  consists  in  teaching  a  Foreign  Language  by  means 
of  a  continued  comparison  with  the  native  tongue  of  the  learner ;  employing,  for  the  expres- 
sion of  any  given  idea,  the  pure  idioms  of  each,  with  a  view  to  obviate  that  unfortunate  draw- 
back upon  the  study  of  other  languages  which  is  to  be  found  in  the  almost  universal  loss  of 
purity  in  the  use  of  one's  own.  g 

Every  lesson  begins  with  an  epigraph,  containing,  in  a  concise  form,  an  example  of  all 
that  is  to  be  made  a  subject  of  instruction  therein.  Then  follows  an  analytical  examination 
of  the  phrase,  and  of  the  words  in  their* construction,  their  roots,  and  their  derivatives. 

The  exercises  consist  of  sentences  carefully  chosen  for  the  purpose  of  supplying  the 
memory  with  worthy  employment,  and  calculated  to  remind  the  pupil  of  his  duties  or  of  the 
principles  of  wisdom  and  experience.  The  exercises  are  interspersed  with  vocabularies  and 
paragraphs  for  translations. 

A  large  part  of  the  work  is  devoted  to  a  carefully-selected  collection  of  the  idiomatic  ex 
pressions  of  both  languages,  and  of  the  most  common  and  useful  dialogues. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  work  may  contribute  to  secure  to  students  of  Spanish  the  undi- 
minished purity  of  their  own,  and  afford  valuable  aid  to  those  who  seek  to  translate,  with 
truth  and  vigor,  the  works  of  Spanish  writers. 


The  Combined  Spanish  Method.

ALL  THE  WORDS  USED  IN  THE  COURSE  OF  THE  WORK,  AND 
•  REFERENCES  TO  THE  LESSONS  IN  WHICH  EACH  ONE 
IS  EXPLAINED,  THUS  ENABLING  ANY  ONE 
TO  BE  HIS  OWN  INSTRUCTOR. 

BY  ALBERTO  DE  TORXOS,  A.M., 

FORMERLY  DIRECTOR  OF  NORMAL  SCHOOLS  IN  SPAIN.  AND  NOW  TEACHER  OF  SPANISH  IN  THE  NEW

Twenty  years'  experience  in  teaching  Spanish,  sometimes  through  the  medium  of  one, 
sometimes  of  another  method,  has  led  the  author  to  prepare  and  publish  the  COMBINED 
METHOD,  the  advantages  of  which  are  many — the  first,  that  of  presenting  the  verb  as  the 
first  and  principal  part  of  speech,  and  the  introductions  of  the  others,  not  by  chance,  but  in 
the  logical  and  natural  order  in  which  they  occur  in  discourse,  whether  written  or  spoken

D.  APPLET  ON  &  CO:S  EDUCATIONAL  WORKS, 


The  Mastery  of  Languages; 

OR,   THE  ART  OF  SPEAKING  LANGUAGES  IDIOMATICALLY 

BY  THOMAS  PRENDERGAST. 

I- — HAND-BOOK  OF  THE  MASTERY  SERIES.     II. — THE  MASTERY  SERIES.— 
FRENCH.     III. — THE  MASTERY  SERIES. — GERMAN. 
IV. — THE  MASTERY  SERIES. — SPANISH. 

Price  50  cents  each. 

The  Mastery  System  is  based  upon  the  principles  of  the  natural  process  pursued  by  chil- 
dren in  learning  foreign  languages,  when  they  associate  with  foreigners  after  they  have  learned 
to  speak  their  mother-tongue.  They  are  impelled  by  instinct  to  imitate  and  repeat  the  chance 
sentences  which  they  hear  spoken  around  them ;  and,  afterward,  to  interchange  and  trans- 
pose the  words  so  as  to  form  new  combinations.  In  the  process  of  nature  there  is  no  teach- 
ing, but  children  learn  to  speak  foreign  tongues  idiomatically  without  instruction  of  any 
kind — without  even  the  aid  of  an  interpreter. 

In  the  Manuals  this  process  is  systematized. 

As  the  sentences  and  their  Variations  have  been  composed  by  Prof.  J.  Duprat  Merigon, 
B.  A.,  the  fullest  reliance  may  be  placed  on  the  purity  of  the  models  set  before  the  learner. 

From  Prof.  E.  M.  Gallattdet,  of  National  Deaf-  \  Madms  Athenaum.

his  credibility.  But  this  much  be  does  not  hesi- 
tate to  claim,  that  after  a  study  of  less  than  two 
weeks  he  was  able  to  sustain  conversation  in  the 
newly-acquired  language  on  a  great  variety  of  sub- 
jects." 

Daily  News. 
u  This  is  a  book  written  with  understanding.  It 
is  not,  like  many  other  treatises,  a  favorite  idea, 
inflated  by  all  manner  of  devices  and  accommoda- 
tions to  the  bulk  of  a  volume  ;  it  is  a  system  care- 
fully and  philosophically  deduced  from  the  author's 
own  experience  and  observation." 

London  Review. 
"  This  system  possesses  many  excellent  fea- 
tures." 

Athenamm. 

"This  book  is  very  full,  and  deserves  attention  ; 
its  pages  are  crowded  with  suggestive  remarks. 
The  writer  is  entitled  to  the  attention  of  philolo- 
gists and  teachers  of  language." 

Examiner. 

••Excellent  in  the  main,  and  worthy  of  atten- 
tion from  every  one  interested  in  the  'Mastery  of 
Languages.'  Set  forth  with  much  lucid  explana- 
tion, and  many  skilful  arguments." 


the  older  the  facts,  the  greater  the  originality.  It 
therefore  appears  to  us  that  Mr.  Prendergast  de- 
serves the  highest  credit  for  the  rare  novelty  with 
which  he  has  invested  a  thoroughly  trite  theme. 
He  works  out  the  leading  principles  with  the  most 
rigorous  and  unflinching  logic,  to  their  ultimate 
conclusions.  Nothing  can  really  be  simpler  or 
more  practical  than  the  principle  upon  which  it  is 
based." 

Female  Missionary  Ldelligencer. 
"We  can  recommend  this  method  from  per- 
sonal experience,  having  had  the  pleasure  of  try- 
ing it  ourselves.  Two  hundred  words  of  a  lan- 
guage previously  unknown,  combined  in  idiomatic 
sentences,  were  duly  mastered  in  the  way  pro- 
posed, by  studying  them  five  minutes  at  a  time, 
five  or  six  times  a  day,  and,  when  permission  was 
given  to  refer  to  a  grammar,  great  was  the  aston- 
ishment as  well  as  delight  felt,  on  discovering  that 
the  rules  of  syntax  were  known  already." 

The  Header. 
"  If  Mr.  Prendergast  will  publish  a  selection  of 
sentences,  with  specimens  of  their  manipulation, 
and  an  abridged  table  of  inflections,  he  may  easily 
find  readers  who  will  give  his  theory  a  fair  trial, 
and  we  are  strongly  disposed  to  believe  that  the 
result  of  such  an  experiment  would  be  a  very  gen- 
eral adoption  of  the  piinciples  on  which  the  'Mas- 
tery of  Languages '  is  based."
